BLOGGING FOR WHOM??

2011-03-28T06:33:00.000-07:00

Asal nak tulih kat blog ni jer mesti mengeluh lama sangat tak update kan so we skip the usual complaints k.. hehehe..

Speaking about blogging ni terpikir lak what is the main reason we blog?? Is it for our own reading pleasure or for others to read?

Do we write the topic because we want to or because we think people want to read or will find interesting?

Some might be pressured to write because they have many followers and so many things to share and some have blogs to chronological their travel or experiences..

How about in my case? Hmmm... maybe for my own reading pleasure and for some of my friends to read (ada ke yg baca blog aku ni wehh..hahah

For whatever reason.. i heart blogging =)

P/s: InsyaAllah after this will try to make time for blogging

G'day Mate! Welcome to Perth!

2011-02-13T17:15:00.000-08:00

Ingatkan i dah publish post ni.. rupenye still dlm draft.. camne boleh x sedor.. tu la jarang bukak blog ni.. padan muka kan.. huhu..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last time pegi Aussie masa tu tengah 4 months pregnant with Hazyq.. Pegi berdua ngan hubby jer.. kirenye Babymoon la tu.. We went to Gold Coast and it was our first trip overseas together.. Actually this trip was a wedding gift from my parents as our honeymoon tp sbb masing2 busy so tangguh punye tangguh smp nak setahun.. Kalu tak pregnant time tu, ingat bole buat baby kat sana..hahaha..

This time around, our trip to Aussie lagi meriah sbb pegi ramai2 with my parents, siblings and nieces.. My parents decided on Perth (since my dad is the main sponsor for the trip so kena la ikut kan..heheh) Actually my cousin and her family was supposed to join this trip but due to unforeseen circumstances (they were duped by a travel agent friend who took their money but didnt make the necessary booking.. teruk kan?? jahat tul org tu!)

Although it was very hot over there coz it was summer (temp 38-40 degrees ok so mmg panas!) but we really enjoyed ourselves. My parents were very happy to have all their children and grandchildren with them. So to me, as long as they are happy..i am happy too =)

At first, when we heard that my parents planned for us to go to Perth, my main concern was for the kids coz they never traveled overseas on a plane before so we don't know what to expect during the five hour flight.. The verdict? It was quite okay with no major catastrophe and Hazyq especially loves the experience on the plane.. Hehhe.. so now after this boleh la travel overseas selalu.. hehhe

LANGKAWI 2010

2011-02-01T05:55:00.000-08:00

Actually dah lama nak buat post ni tapi asyik tangguh2 jer sbb byk pix nak masukkan..

Last December 2010 was a first of many..

- My first trip to Langkawi
- Our first family trip with the in-laws and hubby's siblings
- The HAHA boys first time taking the ferry

We had a great time although it was much too short as it was a 3D/2N trip.. We rented two MPVs (a Naza Ria and an Exora) and drove there..

Bertolak dari Putrajaya dalam kul 12.45pm.. first time travel malam2 ngan budak2 so ni pun first experience gak..
We all tiba at jetty Kuala Perlis dlm 8.00am and took the second ferry of the day at 9.00am but before that ada stop at Sg.Perak to have a drink and bagi drivers freshen up sket..

Tiba at Langkawi we all sewa one MPV and one car kat jetty.. Pastu off carik lokasi hotel which is Holiday Villa and Federal Villa (seblah2 jer).. lama gak mencarik smp hujung pulau rasanye.. Lepas check-in and letak bags kiteorg menjajau carik tempat makan sbb sume lapo..

First day tak ke mana sgt kecuali petang main2 air kat pantai hotel.. very nice clean beach and very beautiful background. Malam makan kat Pantai Cenang.. quite a nice place.. rasa mcm jalan kat oversea jer sbb shops tepi jalan and tempat2 makan die quite quaint and modern..

Second day we went to the Oriental Village sbb nak naik cable car to Mat Cincang Mountain.. But unfortunately the weather was very windy and was raining a bit so the cable car operation had to be stopped until the weather is okay.. So we all pun enjoy the scenery and attractions there.. huhuh sedehnye tak dpt naik cable car so ni adalah salah satu reason to go there again kan.. Pastu singgah jap ke Galeria Perdana.. byk memorabilia Tun Mahathir ada kat situ.. ok gak..
Afterwards we all went for two-hour boat ride for the Mangrove Tour..best sgt! Dapat gi masuk gua kelawar..gi tempat ternak ikan.. dapat tgk dolphins (tak perlu gi oversea k..mesia pun ada).. mmg best! Malamnye gi shopping chocolates kat Haji Ismail and pastu gi makan seafood..

Last day, we went to Underwater World.. tak sume yg pegi.. yg lain gi shopping kat area situ.. Yang pegi Hazyq and Alisya.. I think its much better than Aquaria KLCC sbb luas dan tenang sket.. Kat Aquaria tu kecik and crowded sgt.. Lepas tu kiteorg terus gi jetty nak balik.. tak sempat nak shopping lagey so ada alasan lagey kan nak datang balik..hehhe

Overall, although it was kinda tiring but it was fun and memorable! Bukan selalu dapat bercuti ramai2 camni..lepas ni tak tau bile pulak..

BUDAK GENIUS?

2011-01-11T07:51:00.000-08:00

Alahai dah beso anak ibu ni dah start pre-school..

Ada yg kata awalnye anto school tapi niat sebenar bukan la nak Hazyq ni cepat sgt blajar tapi nak Hazyq ni berkawan dgn budak2 yg sebaya dgn die..

Rupe2nye tak senang nak pilih pre-school.. Huishkk.. rungsing nak carik yg sesuai especially if this is your first child.. Pastu ditambahkan lagi ngan pendapat berbeza from both parents and also suggestions/feedbacks from family & friends..
Ikutkan abahnye nak masuk school yang bercampur ngan chinese so that die bole blajo chinese and mix with them well.. Iye la.. in future rasanye kite mmg kena bersaing ngan dieorg either educationally or business.. So kalu boleh speak their language and pandai bergaul boleh la advantage nanti..

My concern lak..dah la abah ibunye ni bab agama takdelah kuat mane walaupun graduan UIA (eloo..ingat grad UIA tu bole qualify jadi ustaz, ustazah ke..idaknye lerr) so nak la carik school yg bole provide basic islamic teachings but at the same time teach english and not too book or classroom oriented..

Survey & tanye sana sini.. in the end we decided on Genius Aulad coz kebetulan they opened a new centre at Bandar Kinrara (behind Giant).. Their medium is in English and their programme encourage creative & dramatic play & also science..

Nak komen lebih2 tak boleh sebab baru anto tapi so far tengok Hazyq suka dgn environment school tu and teacher die pun quite experienced (before this die penah ngajar at Smart Reader & Q-dees)

1st day school die yang nervous & excited lebih ibu ngan abah die..heheh..
Mula2 risau la gak sbb tgk rata2 ramai budak menangis tapi Hazyq tak heran sume tu.. die lg excited main kat play area with kawan2 baru die (pasangan kembar Hud & Noh.. kiut kan nama tu..hehe)
The first three days during the orientation week, both of us waited outside (1st day lepak Old Town, 2nd day lepak Giant and 3rd day lepak keta jer)

1st day teacher die kata die asyik masuk kuar kelas and explore satu school tu termasuk la gi explore kelas2 lain.. But the teacher reassured yg ni normal for kids yg 1st timer gi school.. Alhamdulillah.. 2nd & 3rd day teacher die kata die dah bole stay in class and participate in the activities.. Syukur!

Ibu & abah doakan Hazyq akan menjadi pelajar yg baik while learning & have fun..

Hazyq's 1st day.. am so proud of u!

I hope its not too late ya..

2011-01-11T06:51:00.000-08:00

ONE + THREE = ONE LOUD MOMMY

2011-01-11T05:07:00.000-08:00

I know i've been making lots of excuses for not updating my blog and the usual answers are busy & lazy.. Nowadays its easy to update via FB.. However, i've promised myself that i will do this post no matter what it takes..
~~~~
It seems just yesterday Hafiy was borne and now he is already ONE (his birthday is on 1st December)and Hazyq is now THREE (his birthday is on 13th Sept) and in kindie (will tell about this in future post InsyaAllah)

I love both of them sooo much but they do sometimes (well, most of the time) drive me crazy.. When there was only Hazyq, i thought he was a handful but NOW with Hafiy, oh boyyy.. i think more hands are needed.. Hafiy is much more stubborn and temperamental than Hazyq.. Alhamdulillah Hazyq now is adapting quite well being a big brother so most of the time he will give in to his lil brother demands.. But its sooo cute seeing both of them playing together and seeing Hafiy tailing around & copying his brother's moves..

My doa is for them to grow up being a 'soleh', responsible, smart & obedient sons that will make both of us proud..

Happy belated birthday my dear darlings..
Abah & Ibu love you both sooo much!

Their birthday bash which was held on 5th December 2010 @ Subang Jaya

Thanx Sue for the lovely & delicious cake!
Thanx Nowwa for the impromptu choc class!
Love you gals!

I AM MY OWN BEST CUSTOMER..

2010-11-23T05:57:00.000-08:00

Well.. its true.. i love to buy things from my own boutique.. Please pay attention to the word BUY coz i don't simply take things from it.. what i want, i pay ok (of course at a discounted price ;P)

Its part of the perks of owning your own shop with clothes that majority of it are hand-picked by you.. if you were me, you would have done the same.. dont deny it..hehehe

Before this I used to worry if i have nothing nice or pretty to wear when i go out or attend any functions.. well now i don't worry anymore.. hahaha

And best of all.. my hubby can't complain coz its better i spend my money at our shop rather than others. . Most of my friends, customers or relatives often asked if the clothes i wore came from the shop so hey, its free marketing & advertising =)

Hmm... now the only thing missing is shoes & sandals... i really need to get some for my shop so i can complete my outfits without going to look elsewhere.. InsyaAllah by end this year ok.. stay tune ya!

Nak N8 gak..

2010-11-22T05:06:00.000-08:00

Rata2 sume orang sibuk nak beli Blackberry & iPhone.. tapi entah ngape i ni masih lagi setia ngan Nokia.. mungkin dah terbiasa and rasanye nokia ni mmg user-friendly compared to other phones pastu my first phone was a nokia (banana phone.. ingat tak?) Member2 matriks i dulu mesti ingat sbb dulu phone tu umpama public phone bilik hostel kiteorg..heheh

So baru2 ni nokia ada keluarkan model baru yg mmg i sungguh teruja nak beli -> NOKIA N8

Antara sebab utama is the 12 megapixel camera.. For those doing online biz mcm i ni kamera ni mmg penting and since die ada apps utk edit pix/viedo and all so lagi la senang nak upload gambo baju or bag terus ke fb or website..

OK la.. malas nak citer panjang2 pasal phone ni sbb rasanye almost ari2 kuar iklan phone ni kat paper.. kalu nak tau further.. click sini ok..

Oh ya.. unlike BB or iPhone.. this one is more value for money and more affordable... sejak dah brenti kerja & biz sendiri ni.. i dah ikut jejak hubby dlm berhati2 memilih & membeli brg and to always remember that expensive doesn't always mean better quality.. Its how you use it thats important..

Sukati la kalu org nak kata i ni berkira sgt atau cikai ke ape.. duit i ok.. i tak suka berhutang so lagi baik beli brg yg tak mahal dgn cash dari beli benda yg mahal2 beribu tapi berhutang semata2 nak look good and for bragging rights.. excuse me.. credit card tu is still berhutang ya... insyaAllah in a few months, i'm heading towards paying off all my credit card debts (sib baik maintain satu credit card jer..kalu tak mau berkurun nak bayar balik..huhu)

AM I CONTENT?

2010-11-12T07:50:00.000-08:00

In certain ways.. I am content...

Now I have time with my kids and my kids are quite secure & happy knowing that their mom spend most of the day at home.. They know that when they are sick or just cranky & needy that their mom will be there to nurse them back to health or just sit & watch them play.. My hubby is also happy coz he knows that I won't leave them to rush to work early in the morning and come back home late or have to work during weekends or public holidays.. For this I am content because my family is happy..

Don't get me wrong ya.. I am not a full-time housewife.. I have a maid to do some of the house chores & take care of the kids.. I have two stores at Bangi and two blogshops to manage.. For the stores, each have one full-time staff & one part-time staff and so far their are quite good at handling the stores so i don't have much problem with them..

For the blogshops, i manage them when i'm free which now is a bit tricky coz the kids are quite demanding of my time and i don't have the heart to work when they clearly want me to spend time with them.. InsyaAllah i'm trying to find a way to work around this situation..

My typical day now is usually like this:

Morning-
- Ready breakfast for hubby & the boys
- Online to check/reply order, inquiry or comments
- Bathe & clothe the boys (they love the water so this will take some time..hehe)
- Feed the boys (which take quite some time too coz they will not sit still so the maid & I need to chase them or in some cases persuade them to eat)
- Play or watch tv with the kids

Afternoon-
- Cook lunch/dinner
- Feed the boys lunch
- Put them to bed (which need some persuasion..huhu)and sometime take naps with them
- Get online to check email, comments, orders, etc
- Twice/Thrice a week went out to check on the store at Bangi or go out with my biz partner Nowwa since she's also self-employed like me so her time too is quite flexible
- If hubby comes home early so ready lunch or tea

Evening/night-
- Ready dinner
- Bathe, clothe & feed the boys
- Have dinner together with hubby
- Play with the boys before getting them to bed
- Get online if have time
- Spend time with hubby watching tv, talking, etc =)

Hmmm... some of you might say my day is boring but to me I'm quite happy with it coz i have time for my kids, hubby and sometime i have time for myself.. i can go out anytime i want (but with hubby's permission of course).. pamper myself when i want to.. Take the boys here and there when i feel like it.. Go to my mom's or MIL anytime..

Oh yes.. my hubby is also self-employed so sometimes both of us do go out together when we feel like it.. so I am content =)

YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT...

2010-09-02T07:05:00.000-07:00

That after resigning from my eight years of employment at PLUS, i would have ample time to update my blog... I thought so too but alas no such thing.. huhuh

My last day of resignation was 2nd July 2010 but this is the 1st post after resigning (exactly 2 months!)

The reason? Was very busy preparing for the opening of my 1st clothing boutique, PRETTY FLAIR BOUTIQUE which Alhamdulillah open it doors to public on 1st August 2010.. So many things to do from cleaning up the place after the renovation (which was done most by hubby.. thanx Yang!), taking stock and inventory and estimate pricing, finding staff, check hundreds of clothing for defect and iron steamed them, tag and pricing, not to mention rearrange them accordingly and so many more.. I never knew it was this difficult but yet very exhilarating and fun!

I never dream that one day I would be owning my own clothing boutique.. i think most of us ladies/girls have secretly wished that they have a boutique of their own with lots and lots of clothing that they can play dress-ups (which i love doing!)..

This would not have been possible without my dear hubby's never-ending support (and financing).. InsyaAllah, I'll try my best to make this biz a success ya while having time for you and the kids.. -Ameen-

Now my new journey begins as a work at home mom while managing my online biz and boutique.. wish me all the best ya.. so far i'm loving it!

UPDATE SEADANYE..

2010-06-26T01:29:00.000-07:00

Lately am too busy (and sometimes lazy) to update this blog.. Dah bersawang dah blog ni.. Siann..

Well.. just a quick update (randomly and not in sequence ya). All these happened before my trip to China.. a special post on the trip will be posted in a few days..insyaAllah

A few days before going to China, bawaklah Hafiy ke SMDC for his shots and ultrasound.. Alhamdulillah.. doc kata bengkak kat kidney tu dah tak nampak and both kidneys seem normal.. Bersyukurnye kami! Rasa lega yg amat and kurang sket berat hati nak ke fly ke china tinggalkan budak2 ni.. Terima kasih Ya Allah kerana anugerahmu ini!

Few weeks before the trip macam2 nak setelkan.. tu tak termasuk kerja berlambak kat ofis ngan mcm2 event coming up.. apa2 pun because nak habiskan cuti before resigning so i took leave every monday or friday.. time tu selalunye petang kuar makan2 or minum ngan Nowwa..

Had a belated mom's day celebration for all the mommies at my department courtesy of my lady boss @ Villamay, Shah Alam.. Last year pun celebrate at the same place gak but the place mmg very beautiful and private for this kind of celebration so kiteorg mmg excited.. Ramai juga (including me) bawak goodies for each mommies.. Pastu we had story telling competition on best family moments and exchange gifts.. We had so much fun! Thanx boss!

And not to forget my best friend from UIA, Shu finally got married.. Tak penah rasanye gi wedding kawan or sedara mara sampai naik flight (except when my bespren/cousin also named Sue married a Sabahan which me & my family flew to KK).. Well back to the story at hand.. Shu ni tengah buat Phd di UK but bertemu jodoh dengan orang Kelantan hasil kenen2 kawan2.. So me & hubby pun flew to Penang for her wedding reception.. balik hari ok so mmg kagumlah naik flight berlenggang dgn satu handbag jer... takde luggage lain.. time tu cuti sekolah so tak sanggup nak harung jam pergi balik.. Thanx Nowwa sbb pinjamkan hubby utk fetch and hantar kiteorg ke airport.. Congrats Shu! Semoga bahagia sehingga ke akhirat kelak..

Others?

Berjaya belajar masak shepperds pie dari Nowwa sambil tunggu our hubbies main badminton..

Tadaaaa.. hasilnye tak sempat nak snap sebab by the time abis bakar our hubbies dah lapo sgt so lupe langsung nak snap.

MY HOME OFFICE..

2010-05-28T04:25:00.000-07:00

This is my new home office.. its actually our third bedroom but my resourcefull hubby converted it into an office and part storage area.. InsyaAllah, I will be spending lots of my time here after this..

As you can see, I also have a mini studio to take pix of Elyzzmode products.. The orange chair which i lurve was a gift from dear hubby.. There is also a comfortable chair beside the workstation for discussion purpose with family/friends (Nowwa.. actually aku masa letak kerusi tu with u in mind ye.. heheh)..

Its not that big but its just perfect for me :)

Thanx Yang!!

A YEAR OLDER BUT WISER?

2010-05-28T02:02:00.000-07:00

I do think that I am a lot more wiser than last year..

32 is just a number.. After turning 30.. adding years after that is actually not so bad..

Alhamdulillah.. This past year I have achieved quite a lot..

An adorable baby boy, a bag boutique with my name on it (the feeling of seeing your name up on a store signage is simply awesome!), an online business, supportive family & friends and having the guts to finally quit my job of eight years..

Hmm.. Not too bad for a 32-year-old..

And this year I got to celebrate my birthday (although it was the next day) with my wonderful hubby.. just the two of us :)

Alhamdulillah.. I am blessed and thankful for so many things in my life..

Looking forward to another wonderful year ahead which I think will be challenging as I will be embarking into the unknown after my final days at work..

Thanx Nowwa for the delicious and addictive home-made oreo cheesecake! As you can see, it was demolished immediately..heheh

The pink white cake (American Chocolate) was a gift from Kak Bedah, Pandan Caterer. Very yummy!

PLASTIC PUTIH..

2010-05-17T21:01:00.000-07:00

" Checkkan brg i kat bwh meja seblh rack kasut tu dalam plastic putih..Simpankan, tadi takut Hazyq main.."

SMS ni dapat dari hubby kul 9.30pm semlm.. Masa tu die kat badminton court clubhouse.. Aku lak masa dpt sms ni baca skali pintas jer and jeling kat bawah meja dari jauh.. Tengok plastic beg tu tak terusik so ok la kot asalkan Hazyq tak main..pastu terus lupe sbb 5 saat lps baca sms tu tengok si Hazyq tengah nak angkat dukung Hafiy.. ape lagiii..panikkk la.. sib baik takde ape2.. si adik sengih jer lak bile abangnye dukung.. harunye HAHA boys aku ni..

.
Kul 11.00pm hubby balik tapi langsung tak teringat pasal plastic putih tu.. Last2 kul 12.30 mlm statement ni kuar dari mulut hubby --> "U ni mmg tak ikut arahan ek.."

Eh, pesal lak hubby aku ni.. Bile pandang die baru la perasan die pandang plastic putih tu..

me: "Oh tu.. Hazyq tak main pun brg tu"

hubby: "I kan suruh simpankan.."

me: "iye laaaa.. i gi simpan la ni.. tadi tak buat sbb ingatkan yg paling penting Hazyq tak usik brg u" Dalam hati.. hmm..pesal la die tak simpan sendiri kat bilik..

Pastu terus la capai plastic putih tu.. Bile angkat mcm berat.. Hishk.. ape lak dlm ni..

Dah time ni sifat busy body mula amik alih so belek2 la brg kat dlm..

Terus nampak kotak Samsung and bile belek lagi and punggah content.. ni rupenye brg dlm plastic putih tu

Ni la my belated birthday gift from hubby yg terchentaaa..

Samsung Netbook N150 in RED.. mmg cantik laaaa... I love u Yang!! Thanx Yang!!

Mmg klako suprise kali ni (mmg nak pun netbook tapi cara presented tu yg unexpected and lawak)

Lenkali bile u suoh check.. i check ok.. heheh

MUWAHHS!

For birthday cakes nanti nak buat post lain... tunggu ye Nowwa.. heheh

YESSS... VERY SUREEEE

2010-05-03T20:32:00.000-07:00

ARE YOU SURE?? .. SURE OR NOT??.. DAH PIKIR MASAK2??.. MUKTAMAD KE NI??

I have been asked these questions many times when my family, friends & colleagues know about my intention to resign.. Although it took me almost two months from my target date but finally i've submitted my resignation letter to my Boss and also to the HR Head dated 3 May 2010..

I was expecting to be scared and overwhelmed by the finality of my decision (once you've submitted the 'R' letter, you can never undo it) BUT I actually felt GREAT! Its as if a burden has been lifted from my shoulders and now I found myself doing my work happily and smiling.. Its such a wonderful feeling knowing that I have just two more months to look forward to changing my status from a full-time working mom to a WAHM (Work at Home Mom)..

Don't get me wrong here.. I am very much aware of the challenges I'll be facing after I resign.. No more monthly fix income to rely on (which although not much to some but it does pay the bills and afford me some lil luxuries of my own).. After this i need to be prudent in my spending.. Cut down on unneccesary expenses and hopefully I can pay off my credit card debt so that i can be debt free by the time i resign.. Importantly, is to make do with what I have by resisting the urge to shop for unnecessary things (this will be definitely the hardest thing to do)

Looking at the bright side of it... This will give me more time with my family especially the HAHA boys.. At least I will save money on fuel from commuting to work and also I dont have to shop for work clothes anymore and I will definitely save a bit more on the breakfast, lunch and sometime tea expenses I would have to fork out during work..

Another silver lining is that now I will definitely have more time to concentrate on my biz and also venture into new biz and projects.. So Nowwa..tunggu ye 2 bulan lagi ok pasni kite boleh luaskan empayar kite..hahahaha

Tangguh lagik..

2010-04-15T20:25:00.000-07:00

Haha.. this is sooo funny.. rasa2nye boleh ke buat resign letter macam ni?

(Image googled)

.Atas nasihat pihak tertentu.. i have been asked to postpone my resignation to 1st May 2010.. Why? Katanye increment akan masuk bulan ni..walaupun dah tau seciput tapi at least duit jugak kan so apa la salahnye tunggu 2 minggu lagik.. Tapi yg suspen tu ada lak ura2 kata kalu ranking Silver tak dapat increment langsung.. hmmm... tak salah kan being optimistic.. .

Pasal kes bonus tu, suka tak suka i redha jer la and bersyukur.. Cuma skang staff kat company i tu masih marah lagi and ramai juga yg akan resign.. FYI, ramai staff kat company tu sudah gi keja ngan company our ex-MD coz sume tau die jenis yg akan fight for staff welfare and respect staff contributions....

.Korang ingat company yg diterajui pompuan ni bagus sgt ke? Ingat dieorg ni lagi prihatin ke? Family oriented ke? Concern pasal welfare? Hmmphh... sungguh meleset andaian korang kalu tu yg korang pikirkan.. Tu sbb Allah kata lelaki yg sepatutnye jadik pemimpin.. Sejak company being run by the Divas.. mmg ramai yg sengsara.. kalu cuti dipanggil masuk keja, kalu anak sakit pun susah nak cuti, raye lagi la org yg keja operations tu mmg tak dibenarkan cuti, asyik nak mengampu org gomen jer smp skang org gomen dah pijak kepala kiteorg ni, sanggup spend beribu dan berjuta utk entertain contacts masing2 tapi when it comes to staff susah sgt nak reward.. kalu boleh sume nak slash..

I prefer keja ngan lelaki garang and strict dari keja ngan pompuan2 yg emotional, giler glamer, fickle and hati kering.. (Unofficial survey kat company tu says staff mostly prefer the old management male team dari skang ni).

Alhamdulillah la my hubby bagi brenti keja and fokus on anak2 and biz.. Kalu gamaknye kena keja gak, mmg jawabnye apply keja tempat lain sbb dah tak tahan sgt dah ngan situation kat company skang ni.. Member2 kat luar tu gaji sume dah lebih RM 5k and dah naik pangkat ke manager.. I ni keja dah 8 thn tp still Senior Exec pastu gaji.. hmm.. beza sket jer dr masa start keja dulu....

FYI, according to the consultant, gaji staff kat company i ni actually is below the current industry ye and walaupun our MD is among the top 10 highest paid GLCs CEO/MD and our company is the cash cow to the parent company, rupe2nye our renumerations (salary, benefits, etc) are among the lowest compared to others in the Group.. .

. .

Kesimpulannye, terima ape yg ada and kalu dah tak boleh terima, keluar sajelah.. mungkin rezeki kite bukan di sini lagi..

P/s: Lega rasanye bile dah luahkan sume ni.. therapy betul blogging ni kan..

SAJE NGOMEL

2010-03-26T01:35:00.000-07:00

Tak nak tulis apa sgt pun cume rindu yang melampau pulak ngan my hubby ni.. Dah lama tak kena tinggalkan laki dah jadik tak keruan pulak.. Hmm.. manja sangat ke aku ni kalu rasa camni? Malam2 takde teman borak and gaduh la.. Nak gaduh ngan budak2 ni bukannye menang pun (at least ngan abah die skali skala menang gak) Anyway, sian jugak kat budak2 ni rindukan abahnye especially Hazyq..

Hishkk.. bile time2 camni rasa mcm tak tergamak pulak nak tinggalkan budak2 ni nanti dlm bulan 5 ke bulan 6 ni.. Tapi kalu tak pegi camne nak gi carik stock barang nanti.. Lagipun pegi pun demi masa depan budak2 ni jugak.. Walaupun nanti terpaksa tinggalkan dlm 4 hari tapi InsyaAllah hari2 lain dapat spend time and focus kat budak2 ni lebih dari masa skang ni..

Hmm.. petang2 Jumaat nak tunggu 5.30 ni boleh pulak macam2 nak dipikirkan..

TAK SESAT.. JALAN JAUH JER YE KENGKAWAN....

2010-03-16T19:01:00.000-07:00

Been meaning to do a post on this but kept postponing coz was kinda busy.

Last week, Nowwa was telling me that there will be a GALZ DAY OUT for few close friends from UIA and was wondering if I would like to join.. Thank god I did coz if i didnt, then I would missed out on a very very FANTASTIC, FABULOUS & FUN DAY!

Memandangkan Nowwa ni bini askar so die amatlah particular pasal timing ni so awal2 die dah kasi tau yang die akan pick-up by 10.00am at guardhouse after die amik Aizah dari rumah die at 9.30am.. so jangan sape2 nak lambat okay..

Semangat and akur punye pasal, 9.45am I dah ready u!

So off we go to amik Fuzah at LRT Ampang Park but before that we singgah kat Jln Klang Lama dulu to deliver Nowwa's chocs to client die.. Chocs die mmg sedap so kalu nak order sila click sini ya (iklan jap).. Disebabkan client die ni tak tau gamaknye kiteorg ada schedule to follow so die lak yg lambat jadik timing sudah lari..ngamuks la Nowwa..

After amik Fuzah, kiteorg pun off to Pavillion to jalan2 and makan2.. Ingatkan I sorang jer tak penah sampai ke sana (bukan tak nak gi tapi sbb maleh nak ke area KL time weekend) tapi rupe2nye Aizah & Fuzah pun tak penah ke sana... hahahha... tiga2 orang KL tapi tiga2 tak penah sampai sana.. yang rajin ke sana si Nowwa yang dok Seremban tu... hahaha..lawaks kan..

Kiteorg pun jalan2 la sket kat Pavillion tu with Nowwa as tour guide tapi sbb bukan time sale pastu gaji tak masuk lagi and then harga barang2 kat situ mmg walaweiii so takde la interested sgt nak shop.. Since mood shopping takde so kiteorg terus la ke agenda makan2.. We decided on Tony Romas..

Although the food & drinks was delicious but yang paling best the borak2 and gosip2 session sampaikan we all tak sedar dah hampir 2 jam lebih dok situ.. Macam2 diborakkan and digelakkan..
.

Dah setel makan kiteorg pun off ke agenda seterusnye iaitu Hi-Tea die rumah Sue @ Bukit Jelutong.. Disebabkan ramai sgtlah pandai bagi direction termasuk I yg cerdik pandai ni (yg mmg tak reti sgt jln tp berlagak tau.. sori ye korang!) so perjalanan yg sepatutnye boleh sampai dlm setengah jam telah dipanjangkan ke satu jam setengah.. huru hara keadaan dlm keta tu.. in the end, Nowwa terpaksa on the phone ngan Sue supaya guide sampai depan umah die.. hahahha.. lawak giler time tue...

As Nowwa cakap, tak sesat okay cuma salah simpang jer...

Sampaikan mula2 perjalanan tu kenyang giler tapi by da time sampai umah Sue, sume dah lapo and haus giler.. Sib baik Sue masak sedap2.. Yang paling best skali roti puri die (first time makan and terus jatuh cinta) and the ever delicious choc moist cake die (which i am a fan since zaman sekolah dulu).. Yang kalakonye Sue kata kalu tak sampai2 gak umah die, dah ada contingency plan bagi food yang byk tu ke jiran2.. hahahah
.

.
.

The day was very memorable and one of the best mini reunion so far. I heart you all!
.

May all of us be blessed with good health and long lives so that we may do it again.

The verdict is out..

OKAYYY
Call me old-fashioned..
but is it sooo wrong if I were to say that I still prefer my Avent Manual Breastpump???
.
I have been using my new Medela Swing BP since last Friday but although there are some advantages to using it such as:
- my hands are quite free (at least one of them) so I can use to type or browse the net
- not so tiring to the hands
- can multitasking while pumping
BUT
- it is just toooooo bulky & heavy to carry
- such a hassle to assemble
- i think it took the same time (or sometimes longer) to finish
- the output is not as much when using the manual (sometimes a difference of 2-4oz!)
- and it just hit me today that there are no visible power points in my office store (my manufacturing area) so I need to use the batteries (which Alhamdulillah someone in the office had some to spare)
.
HOWEVER
coz i spent around rm650 (in the market it retails for rm799 but i found a great deal @ wanitamelayu.com) so i will make an effort to get use to my new Medela Swing..
.
HOPEFULLY
with the help of both pumps.. i can fully BF my baby at least up to a year (if possible more)
-ameen-

BESTNYE BERCUTI WITH FAMILY

2010-03-03T06:03:00.000-08:00

Believe it or not sejak berkahwin kiteorg belom pernah lagi berkesempatan bercuti ramai2 satu family with my parents & siblings.. Alhamdulillah masa cuti Maulud Nabi 26 Feb hari tu dapat la kiteorg bercuti sama2.. Since this is our 1st family trip so kiteorg try la cuti dekat2 dulu so atas suggestion my SIL, we decided utk bercuti ke Avillion PD..

Mmg best tempat tu coz byk activity for kids.. actually Hazyq asalkan ada pool jer dah orait sgt la tu..hehe..Kiteorg amik 4 water chalet package 3D/2N.. 2 kiddies treat package and 2 pampering treat package.. Kiddies package dapat goodies, ice cream, milk shake & fries for 2 children.. Pampering package lak include 30 minutes head & back massage or foot reflexology for 2 adults.. Lagi worth it amik package camni.. nak tau further click sini ye..

Apa yang best kat sane? Banyakkkk...antaranye..

- water chalet die cantik & quite spacious (the bathroom mmg best & beso giler)

- ada pet farm where u can feed the animals (rabbit, chickens, peacock, etc)

- private beach yg bersih and cantik

- kids activity club (playground, video game, art activities, batik drawing, lego, toys, books, etc)

- family & kids pool with slide (ada jacuzzi skali)

- adults pool only (sesuaiu utk sape2 yg nak elakkan keriuhan budak2 atau nak merendek laki bini)

- nature walk & jogging track (my parents suka ni sebab tmpt die byk pokok2 and penuh dengan kehijauan)

- Avi Spa yang mmg cantik and modern tapi ni untuk yg byk duit la sbb treatment die sume rm120 ke atas

InsyaAllah pasni kiteorg ingat nak plan ke Universal Studio Singapore laks atau Bandung tapi yg pasti kena tempat yg budak2 suka..

Best best best...

Cooking with love..

2010-02-17T01:10:00.000-08:00

Post ni sebenonye atas permintaan Cik Sue yang pandai masak tapi yang heran nak gak tau resipi puding roti yang aku buat... padahal tu la yg paling senang nak buat utk orang macam aku yg tak reti nak masak resipi2 yang lebih sejengkal panjang...

Mini Bread Pudding
(resipi ni aku dapat dari internet)

Bahan-bahan ( 6 keping )

2 keping roti putih
2 sb tepung jagung
3 sb gula halus
100 ml susu cair
2 biji telur (guna 1 putih telur saja)
1-2 titik esen vanilla
sedikit buah2an campuran/kismis/kurma atau lain2 ikut selera
sedikit gula icing untuk tabur atas puding

mangkuk muffin - disapu majerin

Cara-cara

Roti di siat2 kecil atau potong 1 inc. persegi.
Tepung,gula,susu,telur dan esen dikacau hingga sebati.
Masukkan roti dan buah2an campur (aku bubuh kismis aje) ke dalam mangkuk muffin.
Tuangkan campuran susu sambil ditekan2 roti supaya meresap.Buat hingga habis.
Susun mangkuk2 muffin berisi puding atas dulang pembakar dan bakar hingga masak kecoklatan.
Biarkan puding roti seketika dan keluarkan dari mangkuk muffin

Sos kastad:- Panaskan setengah cawan susu cair & 2 sb gula dalam periuk pastu masukkan 3sb tepung kastad yg dah dibanduh ngan sedikit air. Kacau ler sampai pekat.

**Aku gune roti Gardenia Butterscotch tu.. lagi lazatt**

***Resipi ni aku doublekan quantity die sbb gune separuh bantal roti gardenia yang lembut tu***

tadaaa.. ni hasilnye.. buat untuk makan petang

Ni lak menu lunch cuti CNY hari tu..

Daging black pepper + asparagus belacan + kerabu epal hijau

.
.

Sekali sekala dapat masak macam ni mmg best.. cooking with lurve.. dah hati senang and badan segar so dapat tunjukkan ngan cara ni (lebih2 lagik lepas kena urut + lulur).. Tenkiu Yang sbb tolong tengokkan budak2 masa kak maz tgh urut i!

Sifu Nowwa, okay tak ko tengok masakan aku tu? heheh.. aku tau ko lagi hebat masak.. aku masih amatur lagi...

Ape2 hal pun.. Kalu cooking with love InsyaAllah menjadi walaupun amatur mane pun..

Muwahhhs!!
.

Nak kasut baruuuu...

2010-02-15T23:01:00.000-08:00

View bawah meja officeku..

Ni ler work place kat officeku..

Kalu korang tengok kasut2 bawah meja ofis aku ni macam byk beno kan kasutnye.. tu tak tengok kasut2 kat dalam keta lagik.. tapi hakikinye bile nak gi dinner ke atau ada function macam tak jumpe lak kasut yg sesuai..

Kasut2 yg korang nampak tu kaler kebanyakan kaler neutral.. so skang nak carik kaler gold, silver, bronze, blue, green, pink..ishhkk.. macam banyak la pulak... abih dah baju banyak kaler so kena la kasut byk kaler.. ape kelas asyik pakai itam jer kan...

Satu hari nanti kena buat shopping marathon utk kasut pulak.. sape nak ikut?? meh la join!

IBU SUSUAN...

2010-02-10T00:26:00.000-08:00

Muahaha.. mesti ramai yg kompius ngan topik atas tu kan..

Sebenonye bukan ape.. sejak menjak episod manufacturing susu sendiri di ofis sudah bermula so kena berhati2 simpankan susu itu.. Susu tu aku simpankan kat dalam freezer di pantry tu siap labelkan nama sendiri.. orang2 kat ofis ni kalu ape2 kat fridge/freezer tu tak bernama so tu maknanye utk santapan umum.. especially budak2 laki ni.. dieorg ni bukannye kire..kang haus2 bukak fridge tengok susu sejuk maunye minum dulu and tanye kemudian.. huhu.. seriyes.. huiskk idak la mau aku jadik ibu susuan budak2 ni.. lagi baik aku jadik ibu susuan utk yg lebih memerlukan..

Ni la 'manufacturing area' kat store ofis tu..

Niat di hati nak BF Hafiy as long a I can so tu yang usaha bersungguh2 memastikan stock susu sentiasa ada.. Anyway, with Hafiy's condition mmg elok BF fully.. Dalam sehari biasanye express susu 3 kali.. Selepas bangun tido, after lunch time and then malam before tido.. Kadang2 mmg rasa liat sgt nak pam susu tu.. tapi demi anak terpaksa cekalkan hati sbb nak buat stock utk next day and stock beku for future use.. Ni jer la product yg betul2 aku hasilkan sendiri.. hihihi..

Ni hasilnye..

.
Buat masa ni gune pam susu manual Avent.. banyak sungguh jasa die masa time Hazyq dulu and skang sambung jasa ke adiknye lak.. tapi tak larat la pam manual ni sbb makan masa lama so ingat nak beli pam electric cume masih fobia la nak gune.. kot takut kena electric shock ke..huhu.. pastu nak gune double pumping tu rasa mcm lembu lak (kepada yg gune tu jgn marah ye.. ni perasaan irrational taun punye blog ni ye..)

Pam manual Aventku yang sungguh berjasa..

Bawah ni adalah antara pam electric yg tengah dok usha..

Medela Swing - harga dlm rm700 to rm799

.....

Medela City Freestyle Double Expressio - harga dlm rm2000 - rm2,300 (mahal kan?? tapi mmg menyenangkan keja).. handsfree ya.. ingat handphone jer ada handsfree.. pam susu pun handsfree k.. boleh gune time driving lagik..

Rasanye kalu nak ni utk besday present boleh dapat tak? Huhuhu.. macam nak bayo deposit keta jer kan harganye..

Kite tengok la nanti ye pam susu mane yg dibeli.. ikutkan budget macam yg pertama tu.. itupun tunggu gaji bulan dpn.. gaji bulan ni nak buat bersukaria di Avillion PD bersama familyku nanti.. wahhh tak sabo!!

Suka duka 1st week koje..

2010-02-07T18:32:00.000-08:00

Sungguh singkat rasanye 2 bulan maternity leave ni.. Tau2 jer dah kena masuk keja balik.. Oh tidakkk..

Sepatutnye start masuk keja hari Isnin tapi memandangkan Isnin tu Hari Wilayah and hubby cuti so decided masuk keja hari Selasa (suka ati jer aku ekk.. padahal ofis kat Selangor..sib baik org ofis tak tanye lebey2.. sowii ye korang..) Anyway, tak sampai ati lagi nak tinggalkan hero dua org ni sbb dieorg masih batuk & selsema...

First day masuk keja hari tu, pagi2 buta dah bangun sbb nak pam susu dulu.. Stock susu untuk minum and kalu ada lebey untuk simpan & dibekukan..

Ni stok susu kat freezer umah.. Kat umah mak di Subang and in-laws di Putrajaya pun ada simpan stock dlm half a dozen (4 oz) each..

.
Sekali session makan masa between 20-40 minutes.. lepas tu baru la boleh bersiap2 utk gi keja (i.e. solat, mandi, pakai baju, make-up, etc). Malam seblom tu dok terhegeh2 carik baju keja.. aisehh.. tak tau nak pakai ape.. ni la akibatnye mendermakan baju2 time pantang..bila abis pantang dah takde lak baju yg best2.. Yang pasti girdle and korset tidak dilupakan.. maklumla nak cuba kurangkan kelebaran badan.. kang ada lak yg tanya "Eh, tak bersalin lagi ke??" atau yg lagi tensen "Eh, u pregnant ek?" huhu..
.
First week masuk keja mmg boring sbb byk nak kena catch-up.. Pastu 1st day tu dah meeting on events & projects planned for 2010.. huishkk... byknye! Pastu bukan setakat utara-selatan jer.. sabah & sarawak pun ade.. Kali ni mmg tak boleh nak ngelak lagey sbb dua org kat department tu pregnant so turn kite la shoulder the burden..
.
Walaupun bz tapi ada gak masa nak kuar shopping.. akak2 kat ofis tu mmg tak sabo menunggu aku masuk keja.. selain merindukan pertolongan aku utk tujuan keja.. aku turut dirindui kerana kerajinan aku untuk membawa dieorang kuar makan & shopping (tu la gune bawak keta sendiri ke ofis).. Lagipun mak2 buyung kat situ tak sabo nak shopping baju maternity so alang2 dah bawak dieorg kuar tu takkan sendiri tak shopping kan.. kali ni shopping baju keja jer..

Ni hasil shopping ari tu.. Sume ni spent under rm150 ok! So very berbaloiii..

Hari Sabtu lak, gi LCCT untuk send-off Shu ke UK.. lama giler tak jumpe kawan baik aku sorang ni.. Die tengah buat Phd di UK tapi balik sini ari tu sbb mak die sakit teruk tapi after sebulan die jaga mak die kat spital, Allah lagi sayangkan ibunye so kembalilah ibundanye yang tercinta kepada yang Maha Esa.. Diharap sahabatku ni tabah menempuh hari2 yg menjelang.. apa2 hal I am there for you my friend..

Gambo Nowwa, Shu & Aku di LCCT.. Shu tu baru lps nangis.. aku pun sedih nak nagis gak tapi cover dgn membuat lawak2 kurang educated sket..huhu..

.
Next week tak tau la ape citer lak.. so kite tengok la ape jadik on 2nd week of keja ni.. ape2 hal mengharapkan yg terbaik jer.. huiskk... bile la bole brenti keja ni supaya dapat masa flexible utk family and biz.. Sabo ye Nowwa!

Aqiqah Hafiy

2010-01-25T05:04:00.000-08:00

.
Alhamdulillah selesai sudah Majlis Aqiqah Hafiy yang berlangsung 16 Januari lalu.. Majlis simple jer sebab budaknye.. pagi pukul 10 buat Yaasin.. mostly yang datang group Yaasin & Marhaban my mom and sedara mara terdekat.. Pastu kul 12 tengahari hingga 3 petang majlis makan2.. takdenye buat cukur jambul ke ape sebab budaknye pun dah dicukurkan masa hari ke-10 lepas die lahir..

Seronok gak jumpe kengkawan lama and sedara mara.. Pastu menu hari tu mmg excellent and sedap i.e. nasi bukhara, daging beriyani, ayam masala, etc (menu yg sama masa majlis kawin dulu and from the same caterer) and yang paling spesel ialah kambing panggang yang boleh dimakan ngan mint sauce.. perghhh.. mmg sampai skang teringat kat kambing tu sbb mmg sedap sgt! Biasanye mmg tak suka makan kambing tapi dah panggang and sedap so byk ler makan.. huhuh...

Sambil2 tu amik la gak kesempatan menyambut besday Hazyq yg dari last year tak sambut2 lagik sbb jatuh time bulan pose.. takde ape sgt sekadar tiup lilin and makan kek sedap (thanx Kak Mas for sponsoring the blueberry brownies cake tu.. mmg sedap!!) InsyaAllah tahun ni for besday Hazyq yang ke-3 kite celebrate k sayang..

'Mini pelamin" anakandaku Hafiy

Hafiy memakai jubah baru pemberian Opahnye.. comeykan..

Sempat la gak bergambo berempat.. tu pun tengok Hazyq macam nak larikan diri jer...

Aizah & Dina.. roommate masa matriks dulu.. terharu dieorg dtg gak..

These are my childhood friends masa darjah satu Suriani & Lisa.. Nik Nadiah lak join us masa darjah 2 sbb die baru pindah Subang time tu.. persahabatan yang melebihi dua dekad and still going on strong!

My colleagues yg mmg best & sempoi! (too bad tak sempat amik gambo kak mas sbb die dtg lmbt and time tu langsung tak ingat nak amik gambo...huhu)

Besday kek Hazyq yg disponsor Kak Mas.. mmg sedap!! Marisa & Darwisy dok berebut nak tiup lilin skali sambil nak rembat hiasan kek tu..hehhe

Doorgift hari tu adalah chocolates yang diorder dari my good fren & biz partner Nowwa.. sedappp.. nak order sila click sini ya..

10 hari lagik..

2010-01-18T21:02:00.000-08:00

Aisehh.. macam kejap la pulak rasa cuti maternity ni.. masa pantang tu rasa mcm lama giler.. skang rasa sungguh tak ready nak masuk keja.. seblom beranak dulu dah plan mcm2 nak buat time cuti ni tapi hakikatnye bile dah ada dua anak ni susah sket nak ke sana sini..

Ingat dapat la gi butik selalu and amik gambo and update website.. tapi yang berjaya hanya tuko layout website jer (tu pun masih tak puas ati lagik so rasenye mcm kena beli template jer sbb sian hubby bz tak sempat nak design layout) gambo2 beg yg baru tu tak sempat lagik nak amik.. everytime plan nak ke sana ada2 jer hal... apa2 hal seblom masuk keja kena gak amik gambo beg2 tu.. itu adalah kemestian!! Nowwa.. tolong aku ek.. hehe..

Seronok gak cuti ni dapat dok umah sendiri dari pagi sampai malam.. kalu tak umah ni mcm tmpt persinggahan utk tido jer.. mana taknye.. siang keja and anak anto umah parents di Subang or umah in-laws di Putrajaya so mlm jer dpt lepak umah.. pastu once a week kadang2 tido Subang sbb dinner atau usrah.. pastu every weekend selalunye overnite di Putrajaya..

Yang lagi best dok umah kali ni sbb rasa mcm masuk umah baru lak.. Bilik sume tuko tiles.. bukan plan tapi lantai parque dah masuk anai2 so byk brg yg rosak termasuk furniture kat bilik2 tu..jadi nak tak nak kena la tuko.. so masa time pantang kat Subang, umah pun dah tonggang terbalik dok pasang tiles pastu kuarkan sume brg2 & furnitures dr 3 bilik.. huiskk..bising hubby sbb byk sgt baju die nak kena kuarkan pastu kat 3rd bedroom aka store tu mmg byk sgt brg2 tak pakai/rosak and also hadiah2 wedding dulu.. heran ek camne anai2 boleh naik sampai tingkat 12?! naik lif kot..huhu

Alang2 dah buat tiles so buat la skali kitchen cabinet and beli a few furnitures and brg2 termasuk katil Hazyq (budaknye dah semakin beso pastu nak letak adiknye lagik so katil queen kami mmg tak mampu nak tampung kami empat beranak..huhu) Anyway, umah ni sejak kawin mmg tak buat ape2 lagik sbb takde masa and time tu tak rasa ada keperluan sgt.. Skang ni dah anak dua so dah tiba masanye kena gak buat pembaharuan.. Buat masa ni kami selesa dok kat apartment dulu mainly sbb security and lagipun kiteorg ni selalu takde kat umah so kalu dok umah darat nanti mesti risau masuk pencuri ke ape..

Berbalik ke topik asal.. 10 hari lagik nak masuk keja.. sungguh tak ready.. byk benda nak buat seperti:

lose more weight sbb dah gain balik lps abih pantang tu akibat melantak makanan2 yg terlarang masa pantang.. huhu.. padan muka ek! Ni nak try Alpha Lipid laks.. mainly sbb katanye bagus nak increase supply susu badan and also for weight lost
menambahkan stock susu utk dibeku.. kali ni susu mcm tak byk bole simpan sbb Hafiy lagi banyak menyusu dr abangnye.. dah risau ni..
nak beli baju2 keja yg vogue but practical.. jom shopping anyone!!
nak beli breastpump electric tapi masih takut2 lagik nak beli sbb takut sakit nanti gune.. fobia aaa
buat facial and manicure & pedicure pastu trim & treatment rambut
yang lain mungkin bole buat after masuk keja kot..hmmm

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

2010-01-07T01:50:00.000-08:00

.
Hehe.. don't get me wrong.. i know that i'm not perfect.. far from it but its kinda nice sometimes thinking that we are and no change is required..

Anyway, I hope its not too late to wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Last year was quite exciting & challenging with lots of things happening. The good and bad sort of balance each other out. We learn from our mistakes and improve on our success... InsyaAllah...

My resolution for this year? Hmm.. I'm not much into making resolutions but there are some things that I would like to improve and some things that I would like to make it come true.. such as:

be a better wife & mom to my hubby & sons
be a better daughter to my parents & in-laws
have a more positive outlook in life
to take things easily and not to stress out on the little things (if possible also the big things)
expand Elyzzmode into a successful biz
breastfeed my son as long as I can
take more breaks/holidays with my family either locally or internationally
start saving more money for the future
learn to be a smart shopper
lose weight & take better care of myself
live healthily by eating healthy and exercise more
start baking & cooking more or at least try some of the recipes thats been collected over the years
find the time to get together with long-time friends
most important of all.. be a better muslimah

Looking forward to a wonderful year ahead and to see how many of the above can be accomplished this year..

HYDRONEPHROSIS

2009-12-30T01:45:00.000-08:00

What I feared the most since my pregnancy finally came true this afternoon.. The doctor confirmed that Hafiy may also suffer the same kidney problem as his big brother Hazyq..

Time pregnant ari tu dah detect possibility when we did a detail scan on the fetus/baby.. Nampaklah kidney die sebelah kiri mcm swollen sket dari belah kanan.. Dr.Siti (my gynae) kata masa dlm perut lagi susah kalu nak buat ape2 cume boleh monitor thru ultrasound jer and in some cases bile baby lahir, kidney tu okay dengan sendirinye.. Mmg kiteorg berdoa sgt2lah bile lahir die kidney die okay..

Since dah tau possibility kena macam Hazyq tu ada so masa Hafiy lahir2 tu dah bgtau paed die, Dr. Indon. Doc ni yang dulu in charge kes Hazyq sbb die mmg specialist on kidney problems for infants/children.. Doc tu advice bile Hafiy one month old baru boleh buat ultrasound and tgk results die camne..

So tu yang tadi gi hospital buat ultrasound.. Bile doc tu tengok results die mmg nampaklah perbezaan condition on both kidneys.. Right kidney mmg normal cume left kidney yang nampak lain and swollen.. Condition ni dipanggil hydronephrosis.. You can click here for more info on the condition.. Basically condition ni caused by saluran ke pundi kencing die mungkin sempit sgt atau tersumbat yg menyebabkan aliran kencing die turun dengan lambat dan condition ni yg buat kidney die bengkak..

The good news is doc kata so far tak nampak serius sgt sampai perlukan immediate surgery so in the mean time monitor in every 2-3 months utk tgk condition kidney tu whether bertambah swollen or not.. in some cases the baby will outgrow from this condition and the kidney will be back to normal..

Kiteorg mengharap sgtlah die akan okay lepas ni.. Tak sanggup tgk Hafiy suffer macam abang die dulu sampai kena surgery..

Doakanlah ye die okay..

HAZYQ & HAFIY

2009-12-29T03:21:00.000-08:00

Syukurlah Hazyq ni nampak gaya macam sayangkan adik die.. Cume die ni tak reti yg si adik ni blom lagi boleh main ngan die.. Ada baper kali la tengok die cuba geletek2 adik die tapi adik die buat derk jer.. heheh..

Ibu doakan Hazyq akan jadi abang yang baik dan taat pada ibu & abah supaya boleh bimbing & jadik contoh kepada adik2 die nanti..

Semoga Hazyq & Hafiy jadik anak2 yang soleh, beriman, bertanggungjawab dan sentiasa mementingkan agama dan keluarga.. Ameenn

Ni gambo masa dieorg baru lahir.
Yang atas tu si abang Hazyq & yang bawah ni si adiknye Hafiy

SO CONFINEEEE

2009-12-27T02:06:00.000-08:00

Mmg sesuai sangatlah perkataan pantang atau 'confinement' tu... I feel sooooo confine in this house!! Bosan amat.. sib baik hubby tinggalkan notebook die kat umah ni so boleh la online.. Tapi pantang kali ni rasa badan macam cergas sket dari dulu..ramai yg komen yg kite ni takde rupe org berpantang sbb jalan pun laju pastu renyah jer.. abis dah tak sakit sgt takkan nak jalan kemut2 atau baring tido jer..

Anyway, Hazyq lak time2 ni la mmg memerap ngan ibu die.. sume nak ibu die.. tido nak ibu die tidokan.. main ke tgk tv/vcd pun nak ibu die temankan so kali ni mmg susah nak rest macam dulu.. Adik die pulak mmg kuat nak nyusu and sambil2 tu mmg pam susu gak buat stock simpan kat fridge.. kalu anak ramai camne la pulak kan.. redha jer la and go with the flow jer..

Kali ni time pantang, amik gak confinement lady cuma not from the same agency macam dulu.. Agency dulu dah tutup (kemungkinan beso sbb masalah retain skill workers).. So masa pregnant ari tu survey2 kat internet terjumpe la website agency postnatal care ni -- Shadira Post Natal & Beauty House

My mom siang2 dah cakap die tak ingat dah camne nak jaga ibu & baby dalam pantang so tu yang terpaksa gak carik and last2 booking kat tempat ni.. My past experience with the previous agency mmg bagus sgt and very relaxing so ingatkan boleh la experience the same thing gak this time.. Hmm.. not so la..

Dulu amik confinement services ni for one month (anyway, my parents blanja masa tu so tu yang tak kisah sgt tu..heheh) Confinement lady tu buat everything from cooking breakfast, lunch & dinner pastu mandikan & massage baby, sediakan mandian herba ibu, tungku and urut ibu (urut selang sehari jer) and jaga baby & mom from 9am to 6pm.. charges die RM150 per day tapi sbb amik one month so murah sket la die bagi (dah tak ingat baper).. Mmg very excellent services die.. sampaikan bawak baby ke hospital pun die ikut skali.. puas hati sgt2.. Sayang betul tempat tu dah tutup..

Shadira ni pulak agak expensive and memandangkan bayo sendiri so amik for 10 days ajer.. itupun hampir RM1800.00.. deposit kena bayo half & settle full amount before start services (unlike agency yang dulu hanye bayo a few hundred for deposit and the rest after services completed)
Services die hampir sama dgn agency dulu except die tak sediakan breakfast, although urut hari2 tapi lepas selesaikan kerja-kerja termasuk basuh baju baby die balik dlm kul 12.30 ke 1.00pm.. Sib baikdie urut mmg best and nampak la perbezaan bentuk badan in a few days..
Kalu nak suoh rekomen, i tak rekomenkan agency tubut i will rekomen the confinement lady yang jaga i tu. die mmg buat part-time sendiri so much more cheaper than what the agency charged.. Inipun i sambung urut ngan die 7 more days.. siap buat lulur & bertangas and nanti nak buat tutup pantang skali ngan die.. facial pun die boleh buat so nanti nak try gak buat ngan die..
So far I've lost more than 15kgs from my pregnancy weight.. so much more to lose.. so mungkin sambung lagik urut kot.. hehhe

ALAHAI.. DAH BOTAK DAH ANAK IBU..

2009-12-11T01:43:00.000-08:00

Hari ni Hafiy telah selamat dicukurkan Ustaz Omar.. ikutkan sunnah elok seminggu lepas lahir tapi time ni jer ustaz tu free.. Takde majlis sangat pun cume invite parents Helmy jer supaya dapat ler lihat cucunye seblom dibotakkan.. Majlis cukur jambul & aqiqah InsyaAllah akan dibuat bulan depan sbb bulan ni byk sangat majlis kawin so ramai yang tak free pastu susah nak carik caterer time2 ni..

Ni rambut die seblom dicukurkan.. ikutkan abang die punye rambut lagi la lebat sbb mau nak sejam lebih cukur.. siap brenti dulu utk susu.. hehhe.. Hafiy ni sekejap jer tak sampai 15 minit and sepanjang dicukr die tido jer.. Good boy!

Tadaaa.. bulatsnye kepalaku!!

Udah ler.. jgn amik gambo lagik.. malu laaa..

Dari ape yang Ustaz Omar lihat, die kata Hafiy ni jenis yang pendiam and sensitif orangnye.. die suka pendam perasaan and kalu sakit, die ni jenis yang simpan and tak bagitau so kena selalu alert and tanye die.. Macam characteristic abah die ajer ek.. Mungkinlah kot sbb jenis darah pun ikut abah die.. Hazyq ni macam ibu and jenis darah pun sama ngan ibu.. tu pasal abah die kata hazyq ni emosi macam ibu die.. hmmm... ape2 pun ibu tak kisah asalkan anak2 ibu membesar jadik orang yg beriman and bertanggungjawab ngan keluarga itu dah cukup (plus rajin belajar and sopan santun..hehe)

WELCOME ANAKANDAKU HAFIY NAWFAL

2009-12-01T03:44:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah.. HAFIY NAWFAL telah selamat dilahirkan secara normal pada 5.45 ptg, 1 Disember 2009 di Sime Darby Medical Center (SDMC) dengan berat 3.49kg (abang die dulu 3.69kg).
-

-------

30 November 2009, Isnin (sehari seblom bersalin):
Sepatutnye check-up esok harinye tapi dah mmg tak larat nak ke ofis so tuko appointment ke hari ni. Pagi tu seblom ke hospital, masa ke toilet terperasan ada darah sket kuar which is also one of the signs of early labour. Sampai hospital jer and lepas register terus gi ke counter clinic Dr. Siti and bagitau nurse kat situ yg dah ada show blood sket. Nurse kata doc ada kat OT (operation theater) so suoh terus gi ke delivery unit.
-
Kat sana nurse check baru dilate 1.5cm and check contractions baru mild. Ikut past experience kalu 1cm tu mesti lebih 24 hours so after n nurse consult doc and die kata ok bole balik so ape lagik terus chiow la tapi takde la balik umah dulu.. hehe..
-

1st stop: gi makan nasi lemak special kat Jom Bali di Carrefour Subang
2nd stop: beli Frappucino Green Tea di Starbucks
3rd stop: gi carrefour beli barang2 yg patut.. baru teringat tak beli set bersalin lagik so sib baik ada stall jamu jual set bersalin Leesa Formula.
4th stop: balik umah parents di Subang
Last stop: Manhattan Fishmarket, Subang Parade - memandangkan sampai nak malam pun tak rasa contractions lagik so ajak la hubby, Hazyq, Fitri (maid) & Lilik (maid mak) ke Subang Parade makan kat Manhattan Fishmarket pekena giant seafood platter yg sungguh byk and lazat.. iye lerr.. dah pantang nanti tak bole makan seafood..

5.00am masa gi toilet perasan darah kuar dah banyak tapi contractions masih tak menyakitkan lagik so sambung tido balik.. kul 7 lebih bangun bagitau hubby yg contractions dah bole tahan sakit and kuar darah banyak so gedebak gedebuk siap2 and breakfast terus ke spital.. masa tu sayu gak nak tinggalkan Hazyq..
-
Sampai spital nak dekat 9am and terus masuk bilik delivery.. nurse check baru dilate 3cm.. so doc kata mungkin dlm 7 to 8 hours lagik... alahaiiii lambatnyeeee
-
By tengahari contractions dah sakit yg amat so mintak la epidural nak tahan sakit.. lepas dapat epidural tu mata pun dah lalok so tido la jap..hubby lak gi kuar makan lunch dulu.. sian die dok temankan kat bilik and astro lak ntah ape2 la citer mainkan time tu..
-
At 3.30pm nurse check baru dilate 5cm jer.. aduhh.. memandangkan lambat sgt nak tunggu open ke 10cm, nurse masukkan drip ape ntah utk cepat proses.. Akhirnye by 4.30pm dah 8cm bukak and 5.20pm dah 10cm bukak so dah bole start teran.. Bersyukur hubby ada the whole time so by 5.45pm keluarlah si Hafiy ke dunia ni..

RAYE OH RAYE 2009

2009-10-18T19:40:00.000-07:00

Akhirnye berjaya gak nak postkan gambo2 raye kat blog ni..

Actually last week dah buat tapi rupe2nye terpost kat website Elyzzmode.. camne la boleh silap.. nasib baik sedar.. kang mau customers kompius pesal gambo2 org ni..mane gambo beg2nye.. heheh..

Tahun ni sbb kurang beraye sgt sbb Hazyq kurang sihat so tak banyak la gambo2nye..

Ni nak bergambo pun kena pegang sbb kalu tak maunye die lari atau tangannye dok tanggalkan songkoknye tu..

Bergambo ngan abahnye.. tapi abahnye lak tak pakai songkok time ni..

Atok ngan Opah tengah pegang cucu sorang satu.. kononnye nak ready utk sesi amik gambo..

Alhamdulillah.. this year cukup korum so meriah & ceria sket raye tahun ni..

Ni Khairil ngan princesses die (Amily & Marisa)

Melepak di rumah Pak Ngah

Ni Amily.. anak Khairil.. geram kan tengok pipi die!

Sempat lagik bergambo luar umah Pak Ngah.. tapi senget lak cameraman ni amik..

Hehe..si kecik dah monyok sbb paksa amik gambo..

Ni la satu2 gambo raye yg dapat amik bertiga tgh duduk.. itupun puas umpan si kecik ni dok diam..

Hmm.. elok la tu baring terbongkang ngan susunye..

Minggu ke-2 raye hari tu company ada buat open house raye.

Dah kalu keja kat Corporate Comm tu kan so kena la duty time ni..

Mungkin ada yg tertanye2 ngape aku tak pakai baju kurung ke jubah time ni.. Ni nak story yg aku mmg sengaja pilih pakai baju camni supaya terserlah perut aku tu (anyway, baju kurung mana nak muat perut ni..heheh) Kalu tak buat camni, maunye ramai yang tak sedar diri yang aku ni dah masuk 3rd trimester and ingat aku ni masih aktif utk ke hulu hilir sana sini..

So hari tu ramai la mata dok fokus kat perut ni.. pastu ada lak yg tanye.. Eh, u pregnant lagi ke?? Heheh.. ni kira mission accomplished la. Pasni kalu aku takde 2 bulan sume taula yg aku dah beranak..

Ni bersama colleagues aku Haida & Ain.. tak silap aku kiteorg ni kawin sume tahun yg sama..

Rasanye sape yg ada FB and dah add aku kat list friends die mesti dah tau kisah..

Semenjak dua menjak ni Hazyq ni asyik tak sihat jer.. Dua minggu lepas, perut die masuk angin and demam sket.. Risau gak masa tu sbb die merengek2 and nangis tak tentu pasal..last2 bawak gi doctor yg dpt tau perut die masuk angin..

Then last week demam lagik..sepatutnye sabtu lepas umah parents kat Subang buat usrah plus raya gathering skali.. Tp dah anak tak sihat so tak dpt la pegi..melopeh den makan makanan yg sedap2 termasuk nasi kambing arab (mmg restoran arab yg masak)..huhu..

Minggu ni lak kena balik HFMD (hand foot mouth disease).. rupe2 mmg possible ye kena more than once.. Sian baby ibu sorang ni..

Pastu yg lagi haru.. hari rabu ari tu mak pulak warded masuk SDMC.. Malam lps isyak Bapak call ckp mak kat emergency..mau tak berderau jantung dengo.. Rupenye siang tadi mak dah sakit perut sgt tp sbb nak tahankn pose 6 die yg mmg ari tu last so die tak nak la buka awal..tapi lps maghrib tu gamaknye teruk sgt sakitnye so terus gi klinik..doc situ lak tgk blood pressure mak lemah sgt smp undetectable so die suoh bawak gi hospital..
Alhamdulillah semlm dah discharge lepas result ultrasound ok..cuma awal2 blood test indicate high level white blood cell so suspected infection..skang tgk dah ok gak..mungkin acute gastric rasanye.. Apa2 hal mmg lega la mak dah sihat and siap tadi msg dah gi umah org kawin lagik and esok nak gi open hse sedara lg..

Skang tinggal tunggu Hazyq lak sihat sepenuhnye..at least skang die dah nak makan & susu so kurang risau..

SUMMARY CITER BULAN POSE & RAYE 2009

2009-10-04T21:00:00.000-07:00

Huiskk.. mmg lama giler tak update blog ni.. macam2 dah berlaku.. dari sblom pose sampai ler ke raye ni ek.. ntah2 korang pun fed-up nak baca sbb takde update..

Rasanye blom terlambat lagik nak ucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA & MAAF ZAHIR BATIN kepada sume..

Hmmm... memandangkan byk yg dah berlaku so terpaksa la summarizekan citer..

Seblom bulan pose:

Bz yg amat kat ofis sbb byk sgt event nak setelkan seblom bulan pose.. tiap2 minggu maunye ada at least 2-3 event yg on
Baby dalam perut ni so far Alhamdulillah ok cume masa buat detail scan.. doc kata baby ni pun ada 50-50 chance kena penyakit mcm abangnye dulu so skang ni doctor akan monitor setiap check-up nanti.. Kalu katakan detected pun, doc kata after birth baru boleh buat ape2..doakanlah ye takde ape2..risau la gak..
Hazyq lak skang ni macam bertambah manja la pulak..sket2 nak dukung..sket2 kalu tak buat or bagi ape yg die nak maunye die nangis ngamuk guling2 kat lantai tu..rasanye mau hari2 kena marah ngan abah die.. orang kata budak kalu nak dapat adik mmg byk buat hal..hmmm redha jer la..

Semasa bulan pose:

Ingatkan dah bulan pose boleh la lepak2 sket kat ofis tu.. rupe2nye lagik bz dr biasa.. kebetulan ada lak safety campaign besar2an yg mmg nak launch bulan ni so kena involve dlm road shows and launching events.. tu tak termasuk melayan requests dr pelbagai company, media dan agensi kerajaan yg nak buat event kat toll plaza dan R&R sempena puasa and cuti raye.. kalu tak layan, sket2 gune nama menteri ni la..nama exco ni la.. dan macam2 lagik.. penat otak nak layan!
Yang lagi menyakitkan jiwa ialah maidku balik cuti raye selama 3 minggu.. huhuh... dulu masa janji kata boleh balik raye, masa tu kite ni tak pregnant lagi tapi sbb dah janji so kenalah kotakan..kang mau lak lari.. Bile maid takde barulah realise yg kite ni byk dependent kat die rupenye so sedikit sebanyak ketiadaan die mengajar kite utk take care anak & hubby sendiri.. Alhamdulillah hubby pun byk menolong.. gilir2 mandikan & gosok gigi Hazyq (masing2 tak suka gosok gigi die sbb byk tul dramanye!).. cuma sbb pregnant kan so cepat penat and budaknye dah ler berat 15kg lebih dah tapi kadang2 ngade nak dukung pastu tu tak termasuk nak ngejor die ke hulu hilir.. huhu.. sabo jer..
Memandangkan birthday Hazyq tahun ni masih jatuh lagik time bulan pose so takde la nak sambut sgt.. mungkin nak plan buat besday bash die time raye kot.. tengok la camne.. abah die kata tak payah la buat besar2an mcm last year..buat makan2 utk family jer udah.. Tapi last year best gak buat besar2an sbb hadiah die mmg tahan stock utk setahun..ada lagik yg masih tak dibukak lagik.. savenye duit tau... hehe..
Kedai Elyzzmode @ Bangi time ni mmg bisnes agak masyuk.. syukur Alhamdulillah! Tak sangka sambutan agak menggalakkan.. ni sume usaha hubby & adik2 die yg sungguh komited menjalankan bisnes ni.. InsyaAllah, kalu dimurahkan rezeki kiteorg plan ank bukak satu lagi outlet so skang tengah survey area mane yg sesuai and study market dulu..

Time raye until now:

Tahun ni raye meriah sket sbb adik (Khairil) and family die dah balik from UK for good.. die sampai sini 4 hari seblom raye.. so tahun ni cukup la korum..heheh..
Macam tahun2 yg seblomnye.. last day berpose kat Putrajaya and then malamnye ke Subang sbb 1st day raye kiteorg raye kat Subang and ke umah sedara mara mak & bapak dulu sebelum tengahari ke Putrajaya.. 2nd day balik Muor lak.. 3rd day malam tu balik Putrajaya balik.. 4th day baru balik umah sendiri.. pastu mmg flat terus tapi nak relax sgt pun tak boleh sbb nak jaga si kecik ni.. die pulak mmg tak kenal erti penat.. masa tu dah tak kisah ler nak sepahkan umah ke ape asalkan die ok.. maklumlah bile dah tinggalkan umah seminggu ni maunye byk benda nak buat (i.e. basuh kain baju yg bertimbun, lipat & iron baju, masak makanan hubby & Hazyq, kemas umah, etc)..
Alhamdulillah last Friday maidku kembali ke sini.. risau gak die tak balik sini tapi sbb die mmg attach sgt nak Hazyq so kerinduan die yg mendorong die balik sini.. Seminggu byk kali gak die call (actually die bagi miss call and kite call ler balik..ntah baper la bil tepon bulan ni...) dok tanye khabar si kecik tu... masa si kecik tu demam lagi la sms tanye ok ke, temperature baper, bgtau lokasi ubat letak mane, etc.. hmmm.. sayang tul die kat si kecik tu... mane taknye dari lahir sampai skang die jaga..

Ok la takat ni jer mampu nak update.. gambo2 akan dimasukkan kemudian sbb dok mencari kabel kamera yg ntah letak di mana gamaknye..

LEPAS ANAK.. ABAH DIE LAK KENA...

2009-08-19T23:23:00.000-07:00

Gamaknye skang ni mmg musim sakit ajer.. kat ofis tu ramai pulak anak2 yang sakit demam.. yg kena H1N1 pun ada.. risau sungguh..
Alhamdulillah.. Hazyq dah okay skang TAPI abah die pulak yang sakit.. Sabtu lepas die cakap macam dah tak sedap badan.. Kite lak ingatkan ni trick die lak nak escape usrah mlm tu so mcm tak percaya la kan.. Alih2 bile amik temperature mmg dah over 38c.. baru la realise betul rupenye laki aku ni sakit.. Rasa bersalah pulak tak percaya and paksa2 die gi usrah.. So mlm tu mmg tak gi usrah and balik apartment jer.. Mlm tu temperature naik sampai over 39c..
So esok gi la bawak die ke SDMC di Subang.. Yarabbi! Ramai giler orang sakit kat situ.. Bayangkan kiteorang tunggu from 11am and dapat jumpe doctor dlm kul 3 pm! Doc kata die kena cold & flu biasa tapi kalu demam tak reda dlm 2-3 hari kena gi spital balik and check lagik sbb H1N1 pun symptom die lebih kurang mcm flu biasa..
Mlm tu temperature naik sampai 39.8! Mmg risau gak.. macam2 buat.. bagi minum air kelapa, lap ngan air ais and lumur ngan asam jawa.. Yang tensen tu die dok tak bagi kite dekat ngan die sbb takut jangkit tapi takkan nak biar die gitu sendiri so dengo jer la die bising2 and tawakkal jer.. Esoknye amik EL sbb taknak biarkan die sorang2 kat umah..
Alhamdulillah skang ni dah 90% sihat.. and so far ibu ngan Hazyq tak berjangkit lagi..

Oh ya.. hari Rabu lak ibu die lak bangun2 pagi jer rasa sakit perut..nak jalan ke gerak mmg sakit giler.. Risaunye sbb skang ni baru 6 bulan so takkan nak bersalin kot so mesti ada something wrong.. Abah die tu ape lagik, terus bawak jumpe gynae (Dr.Siti)..
Rupe-rupenye doc kata baby kat dalam tu agak aktif so uterus tengah expand sbb nak accommodate bagi die ruang.. Lega dengo tapi haru gak sbb kalu kat dlm perut dah aktif gini..kang kuar camne lak ek.. Abang die mmg sah2 aktif..kang ape la die dok ajar adik die tu.. Redha jer la..

LAIN YANG DIRISAUKAN.. LAIN YANG KENA...

2009-08-09T00:04:00.000-07:00

Baru-baru ni negara kite dihebohkan ngan peningkatan kes H1N1 and makin hari makin bertambah kes kematian disebabkan H1N1 ni.. So skang nak ke mana2 kena berhati2.. kalu boleh avoid public gatherings and crowded places.. Risaunye kan..
-
Tapi benda lain yang dirisaukan.. tak sangka kena yang lain..
Last wednesday, after amik Hazyq kat Subang lepas keja Fitri (maidku) kata badan Hazyq macam panas.. So balik umah amik temperature and tengok2 suhu dah 38.c.. so ape lagik..cepat2 la gi SDMC @ Subang.. luckily skang SDMC ada Paed clinic in the evening between 6.30-9.30pm at the emergency..
-
Sampai spital jer tengok ramainye budak2 kecik yang sakit.. ramai gak yg pakai mask.. rasanye dari tak trauma, terus trauma tengok keadaan ramai yg sakit.. tempat duduk sume penuh.. pastu boleh tahan gak lama nak tunggu jumpe doctor..
-
Bile jumpe doctor, die kata Hazyq kena viral fever so suhu akan turun naik within 48hours and if by Saturday morning demam tak reda, terus bawak ke spital.. Halfway nak sampai umah boleh pulak die muntahkan sume susu die kat dlm keta.. terkejut sume! Bile balik umah, suhu Hazyq dah naik ke 38.5c lak.. so cepat2 mandikan die.. sepanjang malam mmg tak tido la sbb dok sponge die and lapkan ngan air asam jawa.. suhu die dok naik turun between 38 ke 38.9c.. by pagi Alhamdulillah temperature dah below 38c..
-
Ingatkan ok la pasni.. tapi masa tengahari notis ada bintik2 merah lak kat tangan and kaki die and ada one kat tepi mulut die.. Seblom ni cousin die Alisya demam and pastu kuar spots kat kaki and suspect la campak.. so mungkin Hazyq berjangkit la kot.. so risaukan kena campak ke chicken pox, cepat2 la bawak jumpe paed die kat SDMC..
-
Masuk2 jumpe doctor jer, doctor tu boleh cakap.. "hah..dah nampak dah.." Kompius gak kiteorg ape yang die nampak.. Rupe2nye doctor kata jelas nampak symptom2 HFMD (Hand Foot Mouth Disease).. Die kata kat dlm mulut Hazyq dah penuh ulcer.. Terkejut kiteorg! Mmg tak suspect langsung.. maknanye Alisya tak kena campak la but HFMD..huhu
-
So selain kena isi borang notification ke Kementerian Kesihatan (nasib baik Hazyq tak anto nursery kalu tak nursery tu maunye kena tutup gak), doc suoh die byk minum air (kalu boleh minum yg sejuk2 so that legakan mulut die) and mandikan die ngan Centophil and sapu cream untuk kurangkan gatal.. Dijangkakan akan hilang dalam one week or so.. tapi kalau die tak boleh minum or makan, kena terus admit ke spital and masukkan drip utk elakkan dehydration.. Buat masa ni jangan bagi die dekat ngan budak2 lain so jawabnye quarantine jer kat umah..
-
So far, Alhamdulillah Hazyq masih lagi boleh makan & minum... kadang2 kalu mulut die perit sgt..kiteorg bagi minum gune syringe... Yang tak tahan tu die gatal2 kat kaki, tapak kaki and tangan die.. Malam2 lagi terus sebab asyik terjaga sbb gatal.. mmg sian tengok die camni.. rasanye time sakit ni lagi kurang die tido..
Doa2kanlah die cepat sembuh ye..

A SHORT BREAK @ PD

2009-08-08T10:49:00.000-07:00

Rasanye macam dah berzaman tak update blog ni kan.. banyak dah berlaku.. Kerja mmg berlambak.. Lagi2 ni nak bulan posa so settelkan event seblom raya.. boleh dikatakan seminggu tu mestin ada dua tiga event yang berlangsung kat company tu..
-
Sememangye perkara macam ni dah di'anticipate' so tu pasal amik cuti awal-awal utk berlibur bersama family.. from 19th July until 21st July.. original destination ialah ke Pulau Pangkor tapi disebabkan campur tangan pihak ketiga yang tidak dapat dielakkan maka bercuti jer la kat PD..
-
Kali ni Dafi & Amir ikut skali.. iye laa sian dieorg dari start butik Elyzzmode bukak kat Bangi tu sampai skang dieorg tak bercuti.. Alhamdulillah dapat carik budak utk jaga kedai for a few days.. Kiteorg stay kat AnCasa Suites Hotel & Spa.. tempat mmg modern and cantik.. yang penting tak crowded and pool cantik dan bersih.. Beach die not so nice but our room facing the ocean so tiap2 hari dengar bunyik laut and desiran ombak.. very peaceful..
-
Walaupun plan ke Pangkor tak jadik.. janji sume happy and enjoy especially Hazyq yg memang suka mandi pool and berlari kat pasir.. mula2 tu mmg geli ngan pijak pasir tp lama2 die dah syok sbb pantai kan luas so boleh la lari mane2 arah die nak.. hehhe
Ok enjoy the pix ya!

WEEKEND YANG RELAX

2009-06-29T20:03:00.000-07:00

Rasanye nak dekat sebulan lebih kiteorang tak dapat lepak kat umah sendiri... maksudnye lepak yg mmg betul2 lepak la and dok umah tak ke mana2..

-
Alhamdulillah.. Ahad ari tu berjayalah lepak kat umah ngan anak & hubby.. Bestnye dapat bangun lambat pastu had late breakfast.. makan tempe goreng cicah ngan sambal kicap lagik (tak sempat pulak amik gambo.. tau2 jer dah lesap..heheh) suka tul hubby makan!

Lunch pulak masakkan mee rebus.. hubby mmg minat makan mee rebus so rasanye dah lama die tanye2 so hari ni masa dah lapang so dapatlah masak ngan tenang.. hasilnye seperti dalam gambo tu..

Petang lak agenda menggunting rambut Hazyq... sian tul tengok die.. mmg la comel tapi rimas kan especially time2 panas ni.. rambut dah lebat memanjang tutup mata pastu sideburn dah nak bersambung ngan rambut belakang... hehehe...

Ni gambo seblom potong.. serabut ibu die tengok asyik rambut masuk mata jer..nak jer pakaikan hairband atau hair clip..heheh

Nak bagi haircut ni kena ada strategy sbb budak ni bukan reti dok diam2.. So strategy pertama readykan DVD Pingu kat laptop abah die pastu bukak baju die and bawak die kat balkoni.. Pastu letakkan laptop tu atas bangku and dudukkan die depan laptop tu.. So apa lagik, abah die start la operasi..

Mula2 die nak la dok atas kerusi pastu tak sampai 5 minit nak dok atas riba ibu die.. so abih la rambut penuh kat baju and badan ibu die ni... huhuh gatal la! Mau sejam gak nak potong rambut die tu.. byk tul rambutnye pastu macam2 gaya la abah die try nak potong supaya anaknye dok diam.. selesai jer operasi, sume kena gi mandi (takde ler sama2..heheh) sbb rambut dah merata2... mmg miang la!

Tadaaa... ni la hasilnye... kalu tengok betul2 mmg la tak rata rambut die.. tapi abah die kata ni pesen so terima jer la.. yg penting dah cerah sket nampak muka die...heheh
-

Malam pulak malas nak masak so order jer la Nandos... thank god for delivery service! Mula2 nak order Kenny Rogers tapi umah kiteorg bukan within area delivery dieorg so Nandos pun Nandos la.. janji sume kenyang..

Sungguh relaxing weekend ni.. tak tau la bila lagik nak relax camni..

A TRAGEDY ON OUR ANNIVERSARY..

2009-06-25T22:59:00.000-07:00

On 24th June ari tu was my 3rd anniversary with hubby.. Sayangnye the night before tu my hubby's grandma passed away so dikebumikan on our anniversary day.. Since everyone in a sad & somber mood so mmg not appropiate for us to celebrate.. Alhamdulillah, hubby sempat jumpe grandma die before she passed away...

Masa tu hari Selasa and hubby dah bagitau yang nenek die dah tenat kat hospital so nak balik Muor jugak petang tu.. So apa lagik, setelkan hal office cepat2 and make sure preparation event dinner kat Carcosa Seri Negara tu okay and handover ape yg patut dulu.. Pastu by lunch time balik apartment pack baju anak beranak (termasuk maid) and gi Putrajaya dulu.. Nasib baik ari tu mmg turn hantar Hazyq ke sana so tak payah nak collect Hazyq kat Subang... Lepas Asar terus bertolak with parents and adik die yg lain..

Sampai Muor jer terus ke hospital, adik-beradik bapak die sume dah kat sana and mengelilingi katil nenek hubby sambil baca yaasin and ada yg bisik kat telinga baca Lailahaillah and ada yg urut2 kaki & tangan die.. sayu tengok tubuh nenek die yg struggle nak bernafas gune oxygen mask tu.. heartbeat and all the vitals sign pun dah irregular.. Mmg doctor dah cakap menunggu masa jer.. Die meninggal mlm tu kul 10 lebih.. Alhamdulillah, masa die meninggal tu sume anak2 die ada di sisi dr yg sulung sampailah yg bongsu..

Eventhough tak dapat nak celebrate.. Takdelah terkilan sgt pun.. At least both of us are with each other on that day.. May Allah blessed our marriage with iman, love, happiness, wealth and soleh/solehah children (and grandchildren if HE permit us to live that long)..

Yang,

You are my best friend, my confidante, my business partner, my trouble shooter, my teddy bear, my sparring gaduh partner, my supporter, my conscience..

BUT most important of all, you are my heart and my everything...

HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY YANG..

MAY WE LIVE A LONG & HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE ANOTHER 50 YEARS MORE..

HAZYQ GOES POTTY

2009-06-22T21:04:00.000-07:00

Nak jugak buat post ni sbb happy yang skang ni Hazyq dah pandai potty.. meaning die dah pandai mintak org bawak die ke toilet atau paling kurang pun pegang 'bird' die and cakap abah 'ceng' atau Elija 'ceng'.. maknanye nak 'kencing'.. heheh

Actually takde niat nak ajar awal sgt tapi masa tu punggung die byk ruam especially time panas2 sbb berpeluh pakai pampers tu.. So tu yg try pakaikan suar tanpa pampers..

Awal2 nak ajor tu mmg selalu la incident basah kat carpet la, lantai la, keta la (nasib baik keta nenek die..hehe) and macam2 tempat lagik.. tapi skang dah okay.. cuma kadang2 jer incident.. apa2 hal pun skang ni mmg dapat save duit sbb pampers sehari gune satu atau dua jer.. especially waktu malam atau travel..

Tapi yg kelakonye time die nak 'ceng' tu selalunye time abah die ke atok die dlm bilik air.. hehehe.. riuh gendang pintu mintak 'ceng'... kelam kabut la dieorg kluor takut hazyq ter'ceng' kat carpet.. tapi skang ni pun die dah jarang wetkan pampers die sbb die dah geli kot.. pagi2 bangun tido dah mintak bukak pampers and gi potty... bagusnye anakku ni...

ALAHAI ANAKKU HAZYQ NORASHRAF

2009-06-17T08:15:00.000-07:00

Rasanya dah selalu sgt tulih kat blog ni pasal keja so kali ni nak citer pasal topik feveret lak iaitu...anakku Hazyq..

'Hazyq' ni maksudnye pandai.. So tiap kali org panggil nama die tu kirenye mendoakan die cerdik pandai.. Budaknye pun Alhamdulillah mmg agak pandai..

Here are some facts about him yg either u feel its adorable or rasa geram nak cubit2 jer budak ni:

Die start jalan masa umur die baru 10 bulan lg.. actually jalan takde la sgt sbb die terus lari jer pastu.. Kalu jln pun mcm skipping jer.. Mmg sungguh penat mengejo die ni..

The first real word yg diucapkan yg smp skang abah die bangga tak sudah is 'Abah'.. Masa tu umur die baru 3 bulan and admitted kat hospital (sakit & operation).. Ingat lg masa tu abah die dukung la anak die lalu lalang kat luar ward tu sambil suoh anak die sebut abah nak bagi sume dengo.. masa tu berbulu jer ibu die dengo..

Masa kecik dulu budak ni x byk ragam.. Senang nak jaga.. TAPI dah beso ni dah pandai protes & bising itu ini.. Kalu marah atau kite cubit or pukul tangan die ni.. hmmph! boleh pulak x nangis.. boleh buat derk jer! Siap pandai ubah topik ngan tetiba peluk kite atau sebut nama kite manja2 la.. Membebel2 pun dah pandai.. Abahnye kata ni mesti ikut side ibu die sbb side die sume jenis diam2 & mendengo kata.. iyer la tuuu...

Dari seblom lahir lagik kite ni dah bahasakan diri 'ibu' and bile Hazyq lahir mmg dok ajar die sebut 'ibu'.. TAPI...boleh pulak kite ni dipanggilnye ELIJA or ELIZA (kadang2 pelat, kadang2 tak) sbb die dengo org lain panggil ibu die mcm tu.. Adehh dah mcm anak mat salleh pulak.. Walaupun ajar hari2 tp mmg die susah nak sebut IBU.. Ada member ckp xpelaa nanti kalu anak ko ilang kat shopping mall die tau la nama ibu die so senang nak announce..
Hazyq ni mmg a friendly toddler... kalu ada org lalu or diri depan die tapi tak nampak or tegur die.. boleh pulak die tegur and cuit2 org tu... tapi die nie suka attention especially depan pompuan... macam2 gaya die buat..lompat2 ke.. menari2 ke.. dok atas riba org tu ke.. kalu org tu nak balik die boleh salam & cium org tu.. Hmm... Abah die kata trait ni pun ikut ibu die sbb suka attention.. (Kalu yg tak elok tu ibu die jer laa)

Favourite cartoon die Pingu and Mr. Bean.. dah pandai pilih DVD cartoon2 ni and paksa org pasang kat DVD player.. mungkin sbb cartoon ni kurang bercakap so die paham action die dr cartoon yg dok bercakap jer.. tapi risau gak kot-kot ni salah satu sbb die lambat cakap... Ikutkan kat umah subang tu ramai beno yg rajin bercakap (tu tak campur ibu die lagik..) Nasib baik die suka gak tengok cartoon yg lain macam Wordworld, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dibo the Gift Dragon and Handy Manny.

Yang bagus Hazyq ni die ni tak pilih makan.. ape2 yg bagi sume die makan (unless die kenyang).. pedas pun makan gak and suka makan durian.. heheh.. Memang train die supaya tak pilih makan... Abah die cakap tak payah start nak ajar tanye die nak makan ape..biar die makan ape yg kite bagi..

Hazyq ni mmg tido ngan kiteorg kat tengah-tengah except time bile ibu ke abah die tak sihat or bile both of us need alone time (heheh..sendiri mau paham la).. Kiteorg kalu boleh by 10 to 10.30pm tu dah paksa die tido.. nanti die tarik la tangan abah & ibu die masuk bilik suoh tidokan die.. sometimes senang jer tido lepas die tonggak botol susu die.. tapi kadang2 susah gak sbb time tu la die nak bukak pampers gi bilik air la.. nak masukkan kaki & tangan kat dlm bantal la.. ajak abah die main sorok2 la.. nyanyi2 la.. macam2 la diversion tactic..

Die ni suka sgt open space... kalu terlepas kat padang ke shopping mall mmg berlari jer la.. dah tak nak org pimpin and dukung and apatah lagi nak masuk stroller (stroller tu buat masa ni dah bersara so tinggal tunggu adik die gune lak).. Budaknye ni mmg tak boleh sit still lebih dari 3 minit! Dulu tengok anak org meronta2 and baring kat lantai selalu cakap kat hati.. hiskk pehal la budak ni gini.. tak boleh dok diam2 ke.. SKANG ni padan muka anak sendiri macam tu..huhuh.. takpela.. orang kata typical active boys mmg gini so i bersyukur jer la.. elok active than passive kan..

Trait yang satu ni rasanye ikut kakak Marisa die.. suka sgt main air.. tu pasal atok kat subang tu belikan die pool.. dok berendam situ berjam2 pun tak kisah.. kat umah masuk baldi ke tub pun jadik la asalkan berendam kat air... Harap2 dah beso pandai la die berenang nanti..

Buat masa ni jer la dulu ek.. kalu nak citerkan sume sekali tak best la.. nanti kite buat part 2 lak k..

AGM yg penuh masam manis.

2009-06-10T23:03:00.000-07:00

Minggu lepas ari tu company buat AGM... Alhamdulillah sume berjalan lancar except a few incidents yg agak melucukan (ada gak yg menggeramkan) regarding shareholders ni..

Kes 1
Company sediakan shuttle bus dari LRT Kelana Jaya ke ofis and yg bagi nama utk naik ada la dlm 200 lebih org.. Yang kelakonye... AGM ari khamis tapi pagi rabu ada yg call ofis marah2 ngape takde bus company yg tunggu.. Hishk... die yg tengok tarikh salah lagi mau marah org..

Kes 2
Shareholders kiteorg ni mmg suka sgt menapau makanan2 yg dihidangkan.. Kali ni breakfast disediakan konsep ala-ala kenduri ngan meja panjang & kerusi susun bawah khemah pastu ada satu khemah penyediaan utk caterer.. Nak jadikkan citer, ada sorang nyonya ni sudah masuk khemah preparation tu and tetiba curik masukkan sebungkus bawang goreng yg digunakan utk garnish meehoon goreng ke dalam beg die... Dgn muka sardin jer die blah.. nasib baik caterer nampak so sudah kejar itu nyonya "Aunty, ini bawang goreng mau gune la.. tolong bagi balik.."

Kes 3
Memandangkan tahun ni door gift agak menarik (vouchers worth rm50) so ramai la shareholders yg nak cuba mendapatkan lebih.. ada yg cuba menipu cakap maid die proxyholders gak (eloo.. maid tu dah sah2 indon pastu muka budak lak tu).. ada yg bagi IC di mana sah2 muka kat IC tu mmg bukan muka si pemberi tu (iye laaa.. ic tu tulis tahun lahir 1970 tapi yg datang tu org 60an umur die).. ada yg nak claim anak die shareholder tapi busy tak dapat dtg so nak collect bagi pihak die (nama anak pun takde dlm registration lagi mau tipu)... ada pulak cuba menagih simpati dari kaunter pertama sampai kaunter ke-20 mintak voucher lebih dgn alasan die ni proxy utk 5 orang so layak dapat lebih (walaupun die proxy seribu org pun tapi bile time voting still akan kira vote per head count)..

Kes 4
Seperti yg dijangkakan... ramai yg bawak anak2 and cucu2 kecil ke AGM ni.. riuh macam taska kanak2 dah rasanye time tu... pastu of course la dieorg bawak budak2 ni skali makan walaupun dibagitau breakfast ni utk shareholders jer.. so dieorg siap la tampalkan stiker shareholder/proxy ke budak2 ni.. "Stiker I banyak maaa so can eat banyak laaa.." Die ingat ni macam tempat buffet all u can eat kot...

Kes 5
Ada pulak shareholders ni gi complaint kat CFO kiteorg yg although makanan yg disediakan sedap tapi tisu/napkin tak cukup... Bile siasatan dibuat.. Caterer kata mmg tisu cukup cuma dieorg kuarkan sket2 jer sbb shareholders ni amik napkin byk2 sbb nak gune utk tapau makanan masuk beg.. Tahun depan ingat kena bg makanan berkuah sket supaya susah nak tapau..

Masa time tu mmg stress handle AGM ni tapi bile ingatkan balik mmg kelako la dieorg ni!

Tensennye keja..

2009-06-02T07:09:00.000-07:00

Yarabbi... rasanye minggu lepas dan minggu ni adalah minggu yang paling memenatkan.. last week busy preparation utk 2 events yg boleh pulak jatuh tarikh yg sama (30-31 Mei).. dua2 program CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilty) so very important to the company..
-
Satu namanye CSR Rebung 2009 yg involve community project ngan budak2 MRSM yg dipilih serata Malaysia and lokasi kali ni kat Johor.. satu event lagi is Relay for Life 2009 @ MSN Training Bukit Jalil where cancer survivors and family of cancer victims gather for 16 hours to take turns walking, running or joggging around the track.. Memandangkan tengah preggie so I opted to attend yg dekat punye.. Perghh.. semangat sampai buat 5 lap pastu padan muka sakit pinggang..
-
Setel event yg ni pulak, bz ngan AGM company on 4th June 2009. Preparation AGM ni mmg menguji kesabaran and mental.. Buat pertama kalinye nak buat kat building baru company kiteorg ni so mmg la huru hara.. macam2 nak kena buat persiapan... kalah buat kenduri kawin tau tak! Hishkk.. tak terbayang apek2 and nyonya2 tu datang kat ofis ni.. Cuti sekolah ni lagi teruk.. mesti ada yg bawak cucu and maid.. huhuhu.. Company ni pulak baik hati sampai offer shuttle bus servis ke shareholders yg datang sini.. 98% yg naik sumenye cina and umur 50 ke atas.. ada pulak yg call and tanye boleh ke maid and cucu skali naik bus.. helooo... ni AGM la so for shareholders.. dieorg ingat ni rombongan cik kiah ke ape?! Tu tak termasuk yg bawak tupperware dlm beg2 dieorg sbb nak tapau makanan.. Dulu masa kat Sime Darby, ada pinggan, cawan and sudu garpu yg dicuri.. Tak bersalah langsung kan?! Adehhh tak sanggupnye nak buat muka plastik and senyum sepanjang 5 jam and dengo shareholders ni ngadu dr hal bus sampai ke menu makan pastu pasal ke highway and ape2 jer yg tak kena dlm dunia ni mmg dieorg nak salahkan company!
-
Arghhh.. stressnye! Alangkah bestnye dapat bercuti kat mane2 pasni..
Dah la bonus yang dijanji2kan kononnye bulan 4 pastu ke bulan 5 dan skang kononnye bulan 6 ni MASIH TAK NAMPAK BAYANG LAGIK.. dah la kuar perutusan pihak pengurusan bagitau yg bonus kali ni MEMANG TAK SEBERAPA... keja macam nak giler tapi bonus ciput...waaaa
-
Yang.. jom la gi jalan2.. PD ke Genting pun jadilah.. asalkan negeri lain...

REALIZING MY DREAM

2009-05-18T19:56:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah.. Setelah lama berangan-angan nak ada kedai sendiri, akhirnye impian menjadi kenyataan.. Hasilnye, ELYZZMODE DOT COM sudah mempunyai outlet pertamanya di Bandar Baru Bangi (Kiosk @ Giant Kinrara tu tak kira la..heheh).. Mungkin ada yang tertanya-tanya ngape bukak jauh sangat and why Bangi.. well, we have to start somewhere kan.. takkan terus nak bukak outlet kat shopping complex atau di area yg posh macam Hartamas, Bangi, TTDI, etc.. anyway, kat Bangi area Melayu and so far tak byk lagik butik jual beg & accesories ni.. pastu sewa berpatutan.. lagipun kalu nak test market kena try at a small scale dulu.. bile dah maju baru boleh kembangkan ke tempat lain..

Yang penting, lokasi bagus.. sebelah pusat kecantikan (so customers yang nak tunggu buat facial ke massage selalu nyinggah), Cosway depan row (customers dieorg pun ramai yg nyinggah), Kedai Baby & Farmasi betul2 kat depan (dieorg pun ramai regular customers) and yg best skali kedai satu row ngan McDee and oh ye.. kalu orang parking nad nak ke Warta tu mmg kena lalu kedai untuk jalan keluar.. so visibility mmg ada..

Semalam bersembang ngan super agentku, Nora and terkeluar ayat gini dari die.. "Sayang betul Helmy kat ko sbb dedicate kedai ni untuk ko kan.. Everytime aku tanya die, mesti die jawab kedai ni untuk Eliza.. Hah, tak jelas lagik dedicatednye die kat ko!" Masa dengar tu, mmg terharu giler sbb before this I never saw it that way.. Sometimes kena ada orang yang highlight kat kite pasal hal ni baru kite nampak sendiri.. Seblom ni I treat it as a business venture jer..

Yes, i am so blessed and lucky to have a loving and dedicated husband like him.. FYI, untuk business ni modal sume datang dari die.. Concept kedai pun die yang ilhamkan.. Ni la kedai kebanggaanku hasil dedikasi suami yang penyayang.. Gambar ni pun cilok dari Nora (thanx Nora!).. nanti senang akan dimasukkan gambo2 lain..

Bersama super agent Nora yang banyak memakmurkan businessku..

Kelmarin on Sunday (3rd day of opening), hubby tanye best tak niaga ni? Aku pun jawab mmg best tapi memenatkan sket sbb esoknye nak keja pastu dlm keadaan preggie ni sakit2 pinggang gak berdiri layan customer dr tengahari sampai malam.. Die jawab takpe, awal2 niaga ni kena korbankan masa and tenaga sket.. Nanti kalu biz okay u boleh brenti keja and jenguk2 kedai and kiosk petang2 sket atau lepas errands u.. Imagine lepas u anto Hazyq & baby ke sekolah atau umah mak, u boleh lepak kedai layan customer or berjumpe ngan agent2 u or socialise ngan kengkawan sambil networking.. pastu kadang2 tengahari i balik umah boleh la kite lunch sama2 ngan anak2 skali.. petang2 kite kuar bawak dieorg jalan2 ke.. --->> wahhh, tersentuh betul ngan kata-kata laki aku ni.. besar sungguh harapan die agar aku dapat brenti kerja dan uruskan bisnes supaya dapat make time for family.. Korang doa2kanlah ye..

Thanx Yang! You mmg hubby yang paling best dalam dunia ni! InsyaAllah, impian kite akan menjadi kenyataan k.. Ameen..

P/s: Nora, bile aku brenti keja nanti kite boleh start business lain lak and aku boleh jadik macam ko ada masa jalan2 jumpe kengkawan and family.. eeeiii.. tak sabonye!

FOR MY 31st BIRTHDAY..

2009-05-07T20:39:00.000-07:00

My wonderful hubby gave me this for my birthday...

Nokia E71... i so lurveee the chrome metal look and the snow white cover..

The present was sooo unexpected! This is the 2nd year my hubby managed to surprise me on my birthday.. (last year i got an Esprit silver diamonte watch delivered to my office with flowers... so sweet kan?)

He already wished me 'happy birthday' just after the stroke of midnight and we celebrated that night (hehehe... jgn tanye, sendiri mau pikir la!) So since I assumed the baby that I'm carrying right now is my birthday gift for this year so i never expected any gift at all.. serious!

Pagi tu Hazyq anto kat umah atok die di Putrajaya so hubby yang fetch die balik petang tu..

Kiranya ari ni I balik umah sorang terus dari ofis..

Sampai umah jer terpandang paper bag NOKIA biru kat atas meja makan.. Dah suspen dah tapi masih maintain lagik.. Jenguk kat dalam beg tu ada kotak handphone... apa lagik, terus belek la kotak tu.. Hah! Sah kotak tu tulih Nokia E71! Huishhh hati berdebo nie..

Siap sms Nora bagitau and ragu2 tanya betul ke ni hadiah aku? Macam tak percaya jer.. Nora kata mesti la hadiah ko abih sape lagik... try call hubby die tak jawab.. muka dah tersengeh2 ni pastu melompat2 pun ada.. maunye tak excited.. mmg nak sgt handphone ni and mmg dah plan nak beli bile dapat bonus nanti...

Tensen sungguh nak tunggu hubby balik.. rasanya dalam setengah jam tapi macam berjam2 rasanye... Bile die balik lak tu boleh buat dunno jer... Alaaaa... lagi ler suspen!

Tapi last2 bagitau gak ni hadiah kite... wahhhh!! happynye!!

Malam tu malas nak kuar celebrate sbb tak larat nak kuar.. So order la nandos..

Best gak! Tak payah pening kepala nak kejo hazyq.. tenang sket...hehhe

Anyway, lunch tadi my boss blanja I and my colleague, Kak Mas for our birthday lunch at Swensen's @ Subang Parade. Makan steak lagik sbb masa tu mmg nak makan western (selera time preggie ni berubah2...hehhe). Thanx bos for the gift & lunch!

To my beloved hubby,

Tenkiu so much for the unexpected and extravagant birthday gift!

I love it so much but I love you much2 more!

I know u selalu rasa i ni sengaja sakitkan hati you tapi sebenarnye tidak..

Most of the time its unintentional.. Serious!

I am very happy to be your wife and will try my very best to be the best wife for you and the best mom for our children..

Tenkiu again Yang for the superb gift and remember that you are my life and better half..

Muwahhhhs!

(ni blog aku so sukati k nak buat sesi jiwang ni..)

To all my family & friends that wished me on my birthday... thank you so much!

To my beloved sisters,

Tenkiu for your birthday gifts! I love it!

To myself,

Happy Birthday!

May Allah will always blessed me & my family with a happy and wonderful life.. Ameen

UWEKK..

2009-04-20T23:10:00.000-07:00

Hehehe... baca topik pun dah tau kan..

Ni sajer nak story dan meluahkan perasaan.. Sejak seminggu dua ni badan kurang berasa sihat.. maklumlah kena 'buatan orang'.. Nak melepak kuar ke Pavillion ngan Nora ari tu pun tak larat.. huhuh.. keciwa tau Noraaaa..

Dulu seingat kite la masa ngandungkan Hazyq, Alhamdulillah takde la morning sickness or sakit yg bukan2.. Kali ni agak berbeza la pulak.. sepanjang hari rasa loya and mual (dulu masa org story pasal loya2 ni ingatkan exaggeration jer.. rupenye mmg betul sgt2).. hampir sume yang masuk kat tekak macam nak kuarkan jer balik.. kadang2 ada yg terkuar gak tapi most of the time mmg struggle to keep it down.. kalu kat umah ok lagik.. ni kat ofis toilet agak jauh sket..

Pagi2 yg lalu minum air orange juice jer.. kalu minum milo ke nescafe.. rasa nak penuhkan balik jer gelas tu.. mungkin sbb ada susu kot... ntah la.. Pastu skang ni tak lalu pulak nak makan nasik...

Yang kelakonye tekak ni kadang2 mengada2 la pulak nak makan yg best2.. Contoh semlm tetiba rasa nak makan ala2 western so hasut la member2 ofis makan kat TGI Fridays @ Subang Parade.. sebab pegi reramai so macam2 la dapat order and kongsi.. ada pulak promosi 2 course meal die harga RM29.90.. memang penuh la meja! Tak sempat nak amik gambo food sbb sume lapo sgt masa tu so terus ngapp jer.. ada buffalo wings, potato skins, clam chowder, shanghai chicken salad, cajun-friend chicken salad, fried mac & cheese dan lain2.. sume sedap! Memandangkan portion die beso2 sume so mana yg tak abis kiteorg tapau jer bawak balik opis..

Tapi... tak sampai setengah jam makan... tekak dah rasa mual balik.. so sampai jer opis terus buat lawatan terhormat kat toilet bowl.. huhuh...

Ari ni tak lalu sgt nak makan lunch sebab pagi tadi dlm kul 11am dah makan mihum goreng (and also dah dermakan sket ke toilet) so order potato wedges jer dr cafe kat opis tu.. tu pun share ramai2.. malam tak tau la nak makan ape.. dah dua hari makan spaghetti.. tu jer yg lalu.. hubby makan benda lain so takde la org kejam sgt paksa die makan benda yg sama 2 hari berturut2..

Orang kata each pregnancy is different and ramai pulak yg speculate kalu dah mabuk2 teruk macam ni mungkin dapat girl... kalau betul Alhamdulillah... mmg nak girl pun... sungguh geram gitu tengok baju pink2.. TAPI kalu ditakdirkan boy pun takpe.. ada hikmahnye jugak... baju2 & toys Hazyq banyak lagi so boleh la save duit dr beli baju2 & toys baru byk sgt..

Untuk Puan Nora, akan aku hold ngidam2 aku sampai ko abih exam.. pastu ready jer la dapur ko tu... aku tengah buat list ni sambil tengok resipi & gambo2 kat blog ko..heheh

MY SIMPLE WANTAN SOUP

2009-04-13T21:30:00.000-07:00

Ari tu dok baca kat blog Nora resipi wantan sup ni.. tengok macam senang jer nak buat and masa tu mmg nak makan yang bersup2.. kebetulan lak kuar ngan die Ahad tu so dapat la beli bahan-bahan ni kat Cold Storage.

Inti wantan: minced chicken & shitake mushroom

Untuk resipi penuh silalah singgah blog Nora ni.. tenkiu Nora for the resipi! Sedappp!

Ni amatur yang wrapkan wantan ni so tu yang kurang seni sket.. Yang penting padat and tak terburai k..

Sup tu pun masukkan tomato (sbb nak kasik masam sket), mushroom and saderi.

Tadaaa... ni la hasilnye!

Alhamdulillah hubby and Hazyq suka. Kiteorg makan ngan mihun and laki aku ni mesti nak pedas2 so tu yang buat sambal cili kicap.

SECOND ONE...

2009-04-12T20:44:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah...

Plan untuk menambah rakyat nampaknye telah diperkenan dan dipersetujui oleh Yang Maha Esa...

Berdebar gak masa try test kit tu.. pastu bile kat klinik pun berdebar lagik.. mana la tau negative lak.. tapi Alhamdulillah still positive..

So kalu ikutkan doctor as of this week dah 5 weeks and InsyaAllah expected due date 7 December 2009.. Doa-doakan ye sume selamat..

Hehehe... excited sebenonye nie tapi at the same time risau gak camne nak bagi Hazyq paham die nak dapat adik..

SHOPPING TRIP TO CHINA - Part 2

2009-04-08T21:03:00.000-07:00

Day 3

Ari ni team dibahagikan dua.. Helmy & Amir gi setelkan hal beg and I ngan Dafi gi tempat kain ngan Makwe & Izah..

Tempat kain ni agak jauh sket dari tempat beg. Kalu tempat beg tambang hanya 8 rmb tapi ke tempat kain kena 40 rmb.. Rasanye ada seberang jambatan ntah ape namanye..

Sampai2 tempat kain jer kiteorg tuju ke kedai yg penah kiteorg beli kain chiffon silk dulu.. Aisehh kali ni dieorg tak mau layan lak sbb paling kurang dieorg nak order 100 meter per kain... keciwa! Nasib baik ternampak kain2 kat kedai seblah cantik2 so tanya la ngan bahasa ayam itik ngan bahasa insyarat samada bole potong 4 meter.. nasib baik la boleh.. so apa lagik borong la! Tapi kat sini kedai2 ada sampel jer so korang pilih mana yg suka dan antara setengah jam ke 2 jam baru boleh collect.. Susah nak carik kedai yg dah ada ready stock.. kalu ada pun mesti sket giler choice die..

Ni baru seciput jer kain dah tak tentu hala memilih... tak tengok yg lain lagik

FYI, kat tempat kain ni mmg macam2 jenis kain korang akan jumpe.. dari kain yg buat selendang2, tudung, selimut, swim suit, jaket kulit ke kain yg buat alas2 meja. Segala jenis silk & lace ada kat sini.. kedai jual zip, renda2, butang pun berlambak kat sini... Bayangkan konflik dan dilema kiteorg nak pilih kedai!

Kat tempat kain lagik.. ni tingkat 2 kat salah satu bangunan die.. beratus2 kedai wooo

Walaupun macam tu.. berjaya gak borong kain chiffon silk and cotton viscose.. memandangkan hal beg tak setel lagi so I ngan Dafi pun berpisah dari Makwe & Izah.. kiteorg anto kain kat hotel dulu and terus ke tempat beg lagik..

Time pun dah nak dekat kul 2pm so mmg rushing tul! Agenda petang ni carik beg Coach and Fendi so sampai2 jer terus ke kedai Coach dulu.. adehhh byknye choice pastu die bagi catalog lagi.. weiii banyaknye beg yg suka.. camne la nak pilih.. mau sejam gak dok situ dok order beg itu ini.. nasib baik boleh anto ke hotel sbb ada la 80 bijik beg order!

Lepas setel place order beg Coach.. gi pulak order beg Fendi... masalah yg sama sbb beg2 sume colourful and cantik2... adehhh... nak pilih mana satu ni... Apa-apa hal pun berjaya gak pilih beg2 yang cantik... Nasib baik boleh anto hotel.. so masih boleh berlenggang lagi...

Tengok jam kul 4 lebih so singgah lagik satu kedai Coach yg baru.. beg2 die pun cantik2 gak so apa lagik pilih la mana yg suka.. Kali ni kena tunggu sampai kul 6 petang.. mula2 janji kul 5.30 ptg sampai tapi ntah pesal lambat.. risau tul sebab hampir sume kedai dah tutup.. escalator pun dah tak beroperasi and lampu bangunan dah separuh tutup..huhuh... ngeri akak!

Sampai jer barang kiteorg terus ke tempat van2 tunggu... Kat situ Helmy ngan Amir pun dah ada... mak aiiii! Barang berkotak2 la pulak pastu siap beli kotak2 untuk packing nanti.. Sendat tul van tu ngan barang pastu ngan kiteorg lagik! Nasib baik hotel dekat, kalu jauh mau lemas kiteorg kat van tu!

Macam biasa sampai hotel letak barang and gi dinner.. Sian bilik Amir & Dafi macam pusat pelupusan sampah la pulak penuh ngan beg2 plastik itam pastu kotak2 lagik.. Sian adik2 aku dua org nie..

Lepas makan kiteorg balik hotel and start packing... Sampai ke tengah malam la dieorg packing.. Tu pun sbb kotak tak cukup so esok pagi kena carik kotak lagik..

Day 4 (Last day)
Helmy ngan adik2 die pagi-pagi dah kuar beli kotak kat tempat beg (and sempat lagik beli a few bags.. bagus tul laki aku ni!).. Memandangkan dieorg pegi dulu, kena la kite breakfast sorang2.. tapi tak lama sbb after 15 minutes kat bawah, the guys pun sampai.. so dapat gak breakfast together2..

Since packing pun tak setel lagik so lepas breakfast sambung la packing sampai kul 12 lebih. Check out kul 1pm.. Sian tengok Helmy & adik2 die packing kotak.. all in all 17 kotak beso! Banyak giler kan?!

Ingat setel packing setel la sume ek? Hmm.. tak gak.. nak ngangkut ke bawah lagi... nasib baik hotel pinjamkan trolley bellboy tu.. pastu nak kena loading kat satu tempat supaya senang org shipping nak amik nanti.. and then nak kena tulis kat setiap surface kotak tu no. shipping and then lekatkan kertas detail shipping.. mau sejam lagik! Penat laaaa

Dah setel sume tengok jam kul 2pm.. Bas ke hotel amik kul 5pm.. So ada la 3 jam lagik.. Apa lagik kiteorg sempat la singgah tempat accessories (beli key chain yg very2 the cute), tempat baju2 budak (belikan Hazyq kasut and jaket) and last skali tempat luggage (dapat la 7 luggage beg Mont Blanc, 1 luggage Tous & 4 beg overnighter Esprit)..

By da time sampai balik hotel kul 4.45 petang.. Ingat nak gi makan jap tapi tak sempat rupenye sbb bas dah sampai... Sian Dafi & Amir tak sempat makan mee tarik... sampai skang mengidam..

Dah la kebuluran giler.. flight pulak delay sejam... mmg hampeh tul Air Asia ni! Nasib baik food dieorg byk lagik so dapat la kiteorg makan nasi lemak, nasi ayam & nasi goreng.. Yang paling tak bestnye flight tak smooth langsung! Bumpy and jerky! Tak tenang tul sepanjang 4 jam kat flight tu.. Gamaknye weather ke atau inexperience pilot tak tau mana satu... Masa take off pun menyimpang ke kiri pastu landing pun macam nak luruh jantung... adehhh

Alhamdulillah kiteorg sampai ngan selamatnye kul 1.30 pagi kat LCCT...

Ni la shopping trip yg paling memenatkan sbb mmg masa tight sangat... tu pun rasa byk lagi barang yg tak dapat beli... maybe next trip..

SHOPPING TRIP TO CHINA - Part 1

2009-04-06T20:31:00.000-07:00

Baru-baru ni pegi Guangzhou lagik from 31st March to 3rd April. Hmmm... Masa booking tu rasa macam lama sangat trip ni tapi al kisahnya singkat sgt masa ni! Hari2 terkejo-kejo masa.
Nasib baik kali ni 2 adik laki Helmy ikut skali; Amir & Dafi. So kira banyak la shopping assistant...heheh...

Day 1
Sedihnye nak tinggalkan Hazyq untuk 4 hari. Tapi kena cekalkan hati. Iyelaa buat sume ni untuk masa depan die gak.. This time around Hazyq kiteorg tinggalkan kat Putrajaya lak.. bagi can atok & ummi die jaga..

Flight dr LCCT kul 5.30pagi so sampai di Baiyun International Airport dalam kul 9.30pagi (time sana ngan sini sama jer.. macam tak percaya kan?). So amik teksi ke hotel dlm 20 minit trip..
Sampai jer hotel kiteorg terus check in (tapi kena tunggu jap sampai bilik kemas).. Lepas rehat jap dalam setengah jam, kul 12.30 tghari terus ke tempat borong beg...

FYI, weather kat sana agak sejuk jugak la.. tapi memandangkan kiteorg ni ingat cuaca tak sejuk sgt so takde sape pun prepare bawak jaket ke ape.. kecuali Dafi jer... tu pun abang2 die dok kutuk die sbb poyo bawak jaket... akhirnye sape yg poyo skang ni! heheh... Org cina sana tengok kiteorg ni mmg ingat kiteorg ni giler gamaknye pakai tshirt jer... kebal la kononnye! Brrrr... sejuk siut! Pastu boleh lak petang hujan renyai2... lagi ler sejuk!

Amir, Dafi & Helmy (hubby) posing depan hotel. Yang ni gambo bilik kiteorg... very cosy and modern (ada free wi-fi lagik!)

First day survey beg non-branded and beli sket utk kiosk and kedai kat bangi... sbb dah petang so dapat survey sket jer kedai2 kat sana... sket pun mau 3 beg plastic itam beso kena angkut... nasib baik la ada 3 org jejaka yg bole mengangkat barang.. Nak naik teksi susah so kiteorg amik la van yg mmg berderet standby kat tepi jalan untuk tujuan angkot barang2 borong..
Sampai jer hotel letak barang pastu turun balik gi dinner.. lapo giler sume sbb takde masa nak makan lunch..

Ni kat salah satu restoran Islam.. muka masih ceria lagi.. 1st day la katakan

Kat sana Alhamdulillah tempat makan muslim yg terdekat ngan hotel ada 3.. yg bestnye ketiga-tiga tempat ni menu board die sume sama.. sebijik takde beza! Kalu nak makan tunjuk jer mana satu so tak payah nak explain macam ayam itik.. Memandangkan sume lapo tahap dewa so kiteorg sume makan nasi berlauk (meaning nasi putih and lauk dah siap letak atas nasi).. portion die mmg byk and dihidangkan skali ngan sup panas.. sejuk2 macam ni mmg best mium sup tu.. Kat sini nak bagitau yg dieorg tak serve drinks tau.. Kalu nak minum kena amik sendiri teh cina tawar tu... kalu tak, tunggu ler lepas makan and singgah 7-eleven kat sana beli air..

Beso kan menu board die? Sebelah ni adalah dinner kiteorang.. nyum nyum nyummm

Lepas makan.. balik la hotel rehat & tido.. Oh ye, caya ke idak time tak sampai pun kul 7.00pm lagik.. Sini mmg gelap awal dalam kul 6 lebih gitu..

Day 2
Lepas breakfast kat hotel kiteorg gi tempat borong beg lagi. Breakfast berani makan telur sbb die masak on the spot and gune vegetable oil pastu makan roti2.. (sempat gak cilok roti bawak bekal..heheh) FYI, kat sini sume tempat borong die bukan letak setempat... beg tempat lain, kain tempat lain, baju budak tempat lain... Sume tempat tu lak beso2 macam satu bandar.. Imagine area midvalley tu jual beg jer... atau One-Utama tu dr building baru & lama jual kain jer... mmg kusut giler nak shopping mane! Kat sini kalu tak penah ke sini atau pegi ngan org yg tak experience kawasan ni mmg boleh sesat and tak jumpe tempat... Nasib baik la hubby dah biasa so confident la nak ke mana-mana..

Dieorang kat tenpat beg ni kul 8 pagi dah bukak.. Pagi2 kebanyakannye tauke2 kedai retail yg shopping barang dulu... Mmg riuh macam pasar sbb tengok la dieorg tawar menawar pastu bertrolley2 barang diangkut.. Kali ni kiteorang pun bawak trolley gak.. Tapi tak sampai sejam borong dah penuh trolley tu.. kena beli lagi satu... pastu tak cukup gak so kena anto barang ke hotel dulu.. Walaupun kiteorg plan nak memborong tapi problemnye tak tau nak pilih barang yg mana satu!

Lepas shopping beg2 biasa and purse branded.. kiteorg gi tempat jual Fendi.. lepas place order kiteorg carik kedai Tous lak.. Alahai byk stock lama dah abis so ada stock yg tak dapat replenish.. design2 baru die rupe pelik2 lak so taknak la amik... last2 amik mana yg ada ada try amik a few design2 baru.. Harap2 customerku suka la.. Memandangkan order agak byk so mintak dieorg anto ke hotel jer mlm nanti.. Pastu gi kedai LV yg beg2 die mmg cantik and very byk kaler... place order and suoh anto hotel gak.. Fuhh lega sket tak payah angkut beg2 tu ke sana sini.. After collect beg Fendi (kat kedai ni tak order byk cuma re-order bag yg customer nak jer) kiteorg gi beli beg2 biasa lagik.. Beg Coach and Fendi yang lain esok lak..

Setelah bertrolley2 barang kiteorg angkot so kena balik ngan van lagik.. penuh tul van tu! Sian Dafi kena dok kat blakang ngan barang2..

Macam biasa lepas letak barang.. rehat jap pastu turun gi makan.. Kali ni try makan sup mee tarik... mee ni mmg dieorg buat on da spot.. rasanye ok la macam mee maggi sket.. yang laki sume lapo so makan nasik gak..

Oh ya, FYI area hotel kiteorg ni mmg terletak kat district borong pakaian.. Siap ada shopping complex yang jual baju tido ajer (dari yg modest sampai la yg kinky2 tu..hehe).. Sayangnye kiteorang mmg takde masa langsung nak ke sana.. tempat2 wholesale ni mmg tutup kul 5ptg ke 6 ptg so tu yg tak sempat nak ke sana tu... huhuhuh... Maybe next trip nak try amik pajamas & lingerie utk test market..

Lepas makan kiteorg ke underground clothing wholesale complex... mana la tau ada kedai yg tak tutup lagik... tempat ni kira shopping mall underground yg jual baju2 cuma kebanyakannye utk wholesale.. ada yg boleh beli satu tapi harga tinggi la bandingkan harga borong..

Masa tu banyak kedai dah tutup.. huhuh... Pastu terserempak ngan Mak We & Izah (Aunty & Cousin Helmy).. dieorg amik flight 2 ari awal dr kiteorg and balik sama2 la nanti.. Dah jumpe tu berciter la tentang hasil shopping masing2.. Izah mmg ke sana nak borong kain sbb die nak buat part time jual kain ngan member die.. Mak die jadik advisor sbb mmg arif bab kain2 ni.. Memandangkan mmg plan nak beli kain (dah ada member yg pesan and bayar utk 50 pasang kain so kena la beli) so kiteorg janji gi tempat kain sok sama-sama...

Malamnye yg lelaki gi Beijing Lu.. night market kat situ.. Yg pompuan2 dok tengok hasil2 pembelian masing2... dah tak larat nak berjalan lagi so bior ler yg lelaki2 tu bersukaria..

P/s: Gambo2 akan dimasukkan kemudian ye..

To quit or not to quit..

2009-03-12T23:50:00.000-07:00

I rasa some of you pun dah tahu yang I ni intend nak berenti keja by end of this year.. Masalahnya with the economic slowdown skang nie ada la pihak2 yg 'menasihati' agar I reconsider decision tu.. including la my own parents.. I tau yang dieorg ni mesti risau.. iyelaaa menantu (hubby) dah bisnes sendiri... ni anak die lak nak berenti keja sesuka hati.. kang ape2 jadik nanti dah dua2 takde keja tetap (makan gaji).. sape nak sara cucu dieorg nanti kan?

Ikutkan mmg tak logik la pulak kan dalam ekonomi merundum mcm ni nak sukati berenti kerja padahal berpuluh ribu orang skang ni dah diberhentikan kerja dan tu tak kira lagi yang sedang menganggur..

Tetapi... kalu keja makan gaji tapi tak happy pun tak best gak kan... asyik merungut jer pastu sakit hati memanjang.. especially kalu keja yang jenis tak ikut time office hours macam I ni.. asal company nak buat event jer tak kira la weekend ke, public holiday ke, pagi2 buta ke or malam2 buta ke u ikutkan jer la... Tu tak termasuk kena outstation kat mane2 lagik.. Kerja ni kena ikhlas baru dapat keredhaan Allah so tu yang rasa its time to quit sbb mmg susah nak keja ikhlas bila dah tertekan and sakit hati...

Jangan salah faham... I nie nak berenti dari keja makan gaji jer bukan nak berenti keja goyang kaki kat umah.. Nanti dah berenti boleh la I fokus kat bisnes I sendiri... kirenye i ni nak jadik Work at Home Mom la.. Skang ni dah ramai species ni cuma org tak aware jer.. I ni takdela mengharapkan jadik jutawan ke ape (tapi kalu jadik Alhamdulillah!) atau nak jadik kaya raya... cukup sekadar dapat hidup senang and dapat memenuhi keperluan & kehendak keluarga tu pun dah cukup bagus..

InsyaAllah... bila rajin nanti I amik la gambar kiosk beg I kat Giant Kinrara tu and postkan kat sini.. takdela grand sangat.. kecik comel jer kiosk tu.. ni pun amik sbb nak try market dulu.. at least dah start something kan..cuma kat sana tak boleh jual replica handbags and range harga bag between RM 10 to RM 60 jer.. Thank you Yang for going all the trouble to apply and set-up this biz for me... Muwaahhhhs! Sayang sgt you!

Hmmm... Bab berenti ni nanti kena pikirkan lagi la... tapi buat masa ni mmg dah 80% bertekad nak berenti lepas dapat bonus nanti (tolonglah ada bonus!)..

Weekend havoc!

2009-03-08T10:39:00.000-07:00

Since kahwin, every weekend mmg I and hubby balik Putrajaya ke umah parents die and overnight sana semlm.. Kiteorg balik either on Friday night or Saturday afternoon. Kalu balik sana Friday night dapat la balik umah on Saturday night so Sunday boleh spend kat umah tapi kalu balik sana Saturday mmg ler balik umah on Sunday night.. Hmm... so obviously I prefer balik sana Friday...

This week kiteorg balik Putrajaya on Friday so that Sunday and Monday (yeaaa public holiday) dapat lepak umah or spend time ngan family sendirik.. Sunday tu siap anak beranak bangun lambat lagi dalam kul 9.45 pagi gitu... nikmatnye rasa..

Tapi nikmatnye tak lama...

Hmmpphh.. staff kiosk I buat hal lagik! Boleh pulak bagi sms cakap tak dapat datang keja... bila call balik tak dapat la pulak... gerammmmmm tul! Kelam kabut la try tepon budak kiosk seblah.. tapi die pulak bercuti dua hari so owner kiosk tu yang jaga.. alahai kelam kelibut call sana sini! Mana tak panik sbb kiosk tu by 9.45am dah kena bukak kalu lambat kena denda RM300! Alih-alih hubby I pegi la ke sana dulu utk bukakkan kiosk.. sementara tu I try ler dapatkan org jaga tapi on short notice ni mmg ler tak dapat!

So in desperation, cuba la tanye maid I samada die sanggup tak jaga kiosk.. Alhamdulillah la die kata okay.. Kira gaji budak tu pegi kat dia jer la.. fair la kan.. So after rushing setelkan hal umah and Hazyq, kiteorg pegi la sana.. Kiosk kiteorg tu rupe2nye owner sebelah, si Ita dah tolong bukakkan dulu.. kat sana yang bagus kalu ada kiosk yang lambat bukak, biasanya kiosk2 sebelah tolong bukakkan.. ni la sifat kejiranan yang kite nak... terharu tul!

After explain kat Fitri (my maid) macam mana nak buat and record sales and lepas susun2 barang kat kiosk tu kiteorg biarkan die to familiarise diri kat kiosk tu.. Sementara tu kiteorg gi lunch and lepak dekat2 situ la ngan Hazyq.. After nampak Fitri tu okay, kiteorg pun balik umah..

So tinggal la kiteorg bertiga jer kat umah.. so ari ni dapat la betul2 spend time ngan Hazyq and hubby alone.. Lepas buatkan susu Hazyq, abah dia tidokan die pastu ibu die pun temankan die tido jap... Pastu masak la asam pedas ikan and udang goreng sayur kacang utk abah die.. Bila Hazyq terbangun.. abah die jaga die jap sementara ibu die setelkan masak.. Lepas jer abis masak, terus mandikan die and then sama-sama makan... meaning abah die makan and ibu die suapkan and sambil2 tu bagi die makan sendiri... ibu die pun dapat la makan sket in between...

Lewat ptg ada kawan dari Muor datang nak amik stock beg utk dijual ke sana.. Lepas die balik kiteorg pun siap2 and ke Giant Kinrara tengok keadaan kiosk and Fitri.. Nasib baik sume okay and sales pun ok gak.. Bagus gak maid I ni! Lepas bawak Fitri makan, kiteorg pun tutup la kiosk..

Ape-apa hal pun walaupun mula-mula hangin gak sbb rasa macam weekend dah spoil tapi ada hikmahnye.. bile maid takde.. kira boleh la jugak spend time bertiga kat rumah and enjoy taking care of them eventhough agak penat jugak la.. but its a very good kind of tired..

Bengong sampai ke petang..

2009-03-04T17:22:00.000-08:00

Tak tau la ape la bengong sangat aku ari ni sampai boleh tertukar pakai contact lens laki aku..

Adehh... power die dah ler tinggi pastu tak balance.. tak pasal2 pening pastu dunia aku cerah semacam jer and nampak double..

Ni la akibatnya bangun lambat.. huhuh

Alahai... ingat tu jer yg bengong tapi ada lagi yg bengong ari ni.. Hari bengong sedunia tul!

Boleh pulak pagi tadi kul 10.15 dapat pulak sms dari Farah, pekerja kiosk aku kat Giant Kinrara tu.. Ari ni die tak dapat datang keja lak sbb nak gi checkup kat hospital.. kelam kabut call la budak kiosk seblah mintak tolong bukakkan kiosk and jaga skali.. pastu kena lak ke sana bawak kunci bukak mangga kiosk... ni la dugaan orang berniaga..

Pastu....... Tadi masa nak amik contact lens kat umah mak di Subang boleh pulak anakanda & maidku ikut atok & opah die kuar... Ape kena mengena dieorg ngan contact lens tu kan? Iye laaa dah Darlingku tu paskan contact lens tu kat maid untuk pas kat aku... masalahnya maidku ni letak contact lens tu kat baby bag Hazyq yg biasa dibawa ke mana die berada... So kena la tungguuuuuu sampai dieorg balik..

Nak tambah tensen lagik... bila sampai opis boleh pulak handle keta patah! Alarm keta org tu biul sket so org tarik la handle nak make sure terkunci pintu.. alih2 masa tarik tu terus bunyik krakkk dan patah terpelanting..

Ni baru kul 5.45 petang ni... tak tau la malam ni ape lak jadik...

Salam..

2009-03-03T23:00:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah.. after much delaying and coming up with nonsense reasons not to write a blog.. here I am now writing one..

I'm not sure if I'm writing one because its supposed to be a trend or mostly because I REALLY need an outlet to express myself... Hmmmm... Facebook is becoming too overcrowded and my bosses also have their own FBs so now I have to be careful what I write there.. although sometimes I don't give a damn..

As a start here's 25 Random Things About Me
(i have been tagged at FB with this and I found that its kind of a stress reliever to write these down again)

I am a wife, a mother and also working in Corporate Comm while trying my hand in business
I am always worried that I am not a good enough mother or whether my son feel neglected by me..
I am an emotional person and don't do well with stress... I tend to show my stressfulness thru angry actions and loud words.. Hmm... I really need to learn to relax more and have a positive outlook in life...
I used to enjoy my job but now it has become unbearable because its taking a toll on my family and me time.. too many bosses to please and too many government bodies to ngampu and 'take care'..
However, I am also thankful for the experience my job has given me... i am now able to indepently organise events whether big or small, am quite adept at coming up with marketing & promotional strategies and are able to sharpen my interpersonal skills which i can use to further my own business..
I have so much respect now for housewives & work-at-home moms because they sacrificed their career and sometimes 'me' time to take care of their family... I envy them for being able to watch their children grow and maturing in front of their eyes.. to have the time to prepare meals for them.. to take them to the playground or send them to school.. ----> I dedicate this one to my SIL, Aisyah & my best friend Suriani
I have my own online business now and Alhamdulillah its doing quite well... who knows after this I can quit my job and just concentrate doing this... doakan ye.. ----> I have a wonderful and hardworking agent to thank for. Thanx Nora!
I am a shopping addict.. one day without buying anything (even something small or insignificant will do) is next to impossible but sometimes i do succeed but usually due to lack of time or the hubby is beside me.
My favorite sitcom of all time is 'Friends'... I have all the collection from Season 1 to Season 10.. My favorite characters are Joey and Phoebe...
To people who knows me this might sound unbelievable (especially to my brother and family) but i really do love and enjoy cooking and trying recipes... its just that I dont have the time and sometimes the mood.. iye laa for you to enjoy cooking you must have a good mood or the right attitude... if too tired pun mana ada mood..
I am a fast talker because i talk very fast.. its in the genes... both family on my parents' side have this amazing ability..hehehe... People who met me the first time might have difficulty understanding me.. some even until now..hehe
Besides my love for handbags, I love shoes.. I am still waiting for someone to invent the perfect shoes... It must beautiful and very comfortable for wearing long hours... can be worn for formal and casual.. the height can be adjusted according to your needs.. can change colour (and design) to match your outfit.. easy to take care and clean... bestnye kalu wujudnya shoes macam ni..
I love the smell of my son... very best and very calming... kalu penat2 bau and cium die bole hilang penat..
I love my husband very very much but sometimes he drives me crazy... at some point we are as different as night and day but not all the time... like other marriages, we do squabble and argue but i guess its good to argue and disagree as this will add spice (hopefully not fire laa) to the marriage and make it more interesting.. anyway, I won't have my hubby any other way... maybe a bit less bossy perhaps.. hehehe
I tend to talk loudly and at a high pitch voice especially when i'm excited or emotional... this also runs in my family... my dad's voice could wake up the dead.. heheh... BUT i often got into trouble with my hubby because to him its disrespectful to do so... (his family soft spoken unlike mine) Kadang2 mmg tak sengaja sbb terbiasa.. tak pasal2 derhaka lak kite ni... hishkk sori ye yang!
Most of my handbags are big and heavy becoz i cant seem to leave anything behind... too many things to bring along... i have a two zipped purse filled up to the max, compact powder & make-up bag, pastu lipstick and mini perfume.. then notebook for recording order and sales, handphone, pens, car keys, another bunch of keys, calculator, sometimes mini toiletries in case nak semayang kat mane2.. nasib baik anak tak boleh masuk beg!
When i sleep either at home or any place, i must have a bolster pillow (bantal peluk)... its been like that since I was small... kalu takde bantal kepala takpe asalkan boleh peluk bantal... skang ada hubby pun kena gak standby satu.. iye la.. takde la nak tido berpeluk sampai ke pagi...
Its been quite some time since i last purchase a new handphone... bile nak beli jer risau rosak sbb anakku ini suka main, baling, makan, gigit handphoneku... hmmm... bile la gamaknye bole tuko handphone baru...
When ppl see me and my hubby, they intend to assume that I'm a natural Queen Control because my bossy and loud nature... the truth is NO... although my hubby seems like a quiet man but he's very strict and when he's angry he can be scary...
My son seems to inherit my love for talking because he will be talking his baby talk from the moment he wakes up (even before opening his eyes) and when he close his eyes to sleep
Since I'm now 30, I am trying to start living healthily and be more health conscious... so need to exercise more, reduce sugar intake, reduce drinks with condense milk (there goes my much needed nescafe in the mornings), drink lots of water, take supplements & vitamins, eat more steamed and grilled food, etc...
I am a coffee addict... if one day without coffee, i will be cranky and will suffer from terrible headaches... weird huh? At least i have to take 2-3 cups of coffee a day... Hmmm... for health sake im trying to reduce my intake..
i have yet to replace my one month of fasting that I missed due to my son being borned on the 1st of Ramadhan
Its been so long since i last went for a holiday with family so this year my brother & I planned to arrange one.. even its local or nearby..
Whatever it is, I am blessed with very good friends & family... although they often drive me crazy but i really can't live without them...
